This is the first time that ELO champions will be decided at one of our own Saturday events and we hope this will encourage plenty of competition in all the categories.
ELO male and female overall club champions will be decided by the best performances on the longest course at Butterdean which will be Green at approximately 5.4km.The W/M14 winner will be the fastest finisher on the Light Green course. For W/M12 it will be the Orange course and for W/M10 it will be the fastest unassisted runner on the Yellow course*.
*For safety a junior can be shadowed on Yellow but if the shadower ends up helping then the junior should be declared non-competitive at Download.
Winners will be declared when courses close at 3:30. Trophies will be presented at a future club event to ELO’s champions.
Entries close on Monday 24th November. There may be some EOD but you should enter in advance to be sure of running your correct course.
