The competition is open to all full members of SLOW, with three events from five counting for the competition. The spring series is a handicap based on the national ranking points. Each competitors is awarded points based on their performance relative to their expected score and variability from 2014. The highest scoring runner gets 100 points, the next 99 and so on.
As a handicap series, the competition is very open and any improving runner is in with a very good chance of winning the trophy!
