All events use SI Timing and have a score format so you select your own route and go as hard or as easy as you like!
Compete solo, or run as a pair (or walk or jog)! The score event format enables route choice according to ability, terrain and weather conditions.
The secret for success is to collect as many points as possible within the time limit of three hours. Each area is different so your strategy may need to change each time. Your best three results count towards the overall league result.
