🐝⭐️ Summer 2024 Road Race Series ⭐️🐝

Welcome to the Summer 2024 Road Series. This series consists of 8 different events, and you must participate in at least 5 to count. Your best 5 performances will count towards your score.

We will have 4 different categories, Male 39 & under, Male 40 & over, Female 39 & under, and Female 40 & over. The age that you are on 2nd March 2024 determines your age group (just incase anyone is turning 40😉). Your points will be based on your ranking within your category. For example, if you are the quickest in an event in your category, you will receive 1 point, and the aim is to end up with as little points as possible.

The aim of this series is for us to get competitive, work hard, socialise after the events, and have fun 🕺 Throughout the series I will post reminders of events, but I encourage you to enter into these events as early as possible, to avoid them selling out.

I will keep track of all of the points, and will give an update on scores throughout the series. The winners will be announced at our Club Presentation Night in November 🏆
