Teams

[No vice]

Hi,
Been looking over the calendar. I always glossed over the term 'team' in there. But figured I'd ask the question, how do teams work in fell running?

Usually 3 male, 3 female from the same club count towards the team.

Got to be a club? Or could the 3 be 3 mates or even 3 fell ponies?

Just thinking if theres 3 guys who haven't entered a longer fell race before, is there any reason they shouldn't run together as a team?

The three don't have to run together. What normally happens is the first three runners from a club count as the 'team'. You then add their positions together and the team with the lowest total wins the team prize.

e.g.
Typical race result:
1. GB Pennine
2. AP Pennine
3. DH Pennine
4. LT Dark Peak
5. MH Dark Peak
6. PW Dark Peak

Pennine score 1+2+3=6 6pts
Dark Peak score 4+5+6=15pts

Pennine win the team prize!

That may be the case but I was looking at the respective runners initials

Daz 2 places behind Geoff only if there was lots of cake going.....

Ha ha! I'm sure there must've been a race where I was 2 places ahead of him. When he was injured, or got lost or something.
