3) Each week there will be two races. The four mile route (usually known
as Virtual BM) and a score event. You can run both or either race at anytime
between Tuesday morning and Sunday evening. And then post your results on the
facebook group or email me if you don't do Facebook - by Sunday night.
4) The Score event is using an OS map and only the control/items that have the
word written on the map will count. In the case of a collection of item ie
footbridges you only get points for the word not the number of footbridges there
happen to be on the ground). You have one hour to collect as many points as
possible. If you are back over the hour you will lost 1 point per minute
(therefore sometimes it is worth being a few minutes late and collecting an
extra 10 points). If the item is on Private property then
get as near to it as you can.

Race 12 - Score
Event |
Start -
anytime you like.
This week's Score
challenge is to get as much Ascent into your run as possible. You have to
Start and Finish from your house. You have one hour and for every minute (or
part thereof) that you are late home you lose 10m ascent.
For those people living in the "Flatlands" you can choose to do the Least
ascent as possible. But distance will be an important factor here in the
case of everyone achieving zero Ascent. For every minute you're late we'll
add 10m ascent.
And for both events -- no going on the same ground
more than twice ( ie you can retrace your steps but not just run the same few 100m of flat ground or the same hill again and again.
