Scoring – click HERE for details There are several ways to be a winner in the UK Ultra-running Championship: · Overall winners - the main category counts your 4 best scores across the series. These have to include one at each distance. Prizes to top 3 men and women in seniors, V50's and V60's · High Points Winner - fancy doing all 12? This category features prizes for the highest point scorers across all 12 races in the series. You don't have to do every race to qualify but the more you do the more points you can get. Everyone who completes all 12 races in the series will receive a souvenir “Grand Slam” top. In 2006 only one of these was awarded for this significant achievement and 2007 saw Si berry try, but injury got the better of his legs, 2008 saw Stuart Walker and Karen McDonald complete all 12 races, in 2009 we had quite a few take on the challenge and 4 completed it - Julie Gardener, Paul Dickens, Tim Whittaker and Nick Ham and in 2010 we had only one again – this time we saw Dick Scroop finally (he nearly did all of them in 2009 too) get round all 12 and he’s a V60 (well done Dick a superb effort for us all to only try and follow) - take the challenge in 2011 and try all 12 races for that "Grand Slam". Prizes for top 3 male and female and all your races count. · Teams – there will be prizes for top 3 teams in male and female categories. You don't have to run together but the top 3 scorers in you team count to the team prizes/score · Individual Races – there will be great prizes for the first 3 men and women home at each race in the series plus further spot prizes at each race. So, you don’t have to be at the leading edge of the race to walk away with some great prizes from our Sponsors. · Spot prizes - throughout the year there will be lots and lots of lucky spot prize winners through this website. To be eligible you simply have to register for the Championships. If you have registered previously then you will be registered automatically for 2011. · About the crew behind Runfurther - we are voluntary and we put thses champs on as we love the sport, if you see us at races struggling to put the flags and banners up in time please help!
