Cross Country & Road 2025
The CC Challenge
So here's how it all works:
​
-
The Challenge covers races within the five events of the Bottle Lake Hill Assault, Friday Night Lights, the Kennett Cup, the Cross-Country long course Championships and the Time Trial.
-
The overall Cross-Country Challenge will be run over specific Age Grades as detailed in the section below.
-
Times will be based on lowest accumulated times across all 5 events with,
-
Bonus time "removals" given for 1st (20 seconds); 2nd (12 seconds) and 3rd (8 seconds)
-
In Friday Night Lights Eliminator, anyone that doesn't make it through to the final lap will be awarded the time of the 2nd slowest runner on the 2/3rd lap in their grade. The slowest runner in laps 2/3 will also be given this time. Runners in the Open race will be given their fastest lap time.
-
In the case of missed races:
-
If you miss 1 race you will be given the average time of your grade.
-
If you miss 2 or more, you will be given the slowest time of your grade.
-
-
-
For 2025 the Hill Champion will be based on the 4k Bottle Lake Hill Assault scratch race - winners in the grade will become the champions.
-
Likewise, the 2025 Sprint Champions will be based on the Time Trial.
-
Challenge awards will be presented at the end of the series.
-
Those leading after successive events in the overall championship will be given a bespoke yellow or orange armband to wear at the next event, so everyone knows who to target. ​
