Carlisle and Dumfries Parkruns: Competitors can take part in any Carlisle and Dumfries Parkrun from Saturday 14th April – 13th October 2018. It is the competitors’ responsibility to ensure that I receive your best Parkrun time and the date that it was achieved for each event by Monday 15th October 2018.
Group A events: Points will be awarded as normal for the Dumfries, Great Cumbrian and Great Scottish half marathons, any other half marathon and marathon. For the ultra races age graded points will be calculated as normal but championship points will be calculated based on the average speed per mile. Like points awarded for Parkrun, points for any other half marathon, marathon and ultra will be awarded at the end of the championship.
