It’s that time of year again where everyone is ready for Spring and our annual club parkrun series!
Our Spring Series takes place over six consecutive Saturdays offering an opportunity for regional parkrun tourism and friendly competition.
Spring Series competition rules
Anyone taking part in the series needs to be registered for parkruns and wear their Saltwell vest during the races.
Each race is scored in relation to other Saltwell runners with 1st place scoring one point, 2nd place two points, and so on. Those not attending will receive three points over the last finisher (therefore if there are 25 Saltwellians in the race the non attender will get 28 points). All of your finishing positions will count towards your final score.
