More details are on the KCAC website. By the way I didnt win it, I just think it is a pretty good idea.
Biara, I love that idea, I think I might nick that one for our families. Showing my ignorance, but what club is KCAC?

Your Junior champs sounds very similar to ours - I'm choosing 12 races for this year (with 6 to count). Like you I've gone for U12 and U9 within the club champs. So I'm trying to avoid races where U12; U10 and U8 children run totally different courses as it would then be difficult to award club champs points for our first U12 and U9 runners home. Also this year we have one boy over 12 so have to think about that! I'm travelling away today for work, so missed the Kendal Winter League race (boo!) but I've heard that we might have had a 4th place in the boys U12 race - if true I think I'm even more proud than his mother (well, maybe not exactly, but you know....).
