To count in the overall Puma Lakeland Trails 2008 series, you must complete at least 3 of the Trails. (Hawkshead, Garburn, Derwentwater & Coniston).
Points are awarded to all finishers (Challenge, Nordic Walking & Trail Race), based on their finishing times. The fastest man and woman will receive 500 points, with the following 2nd fastest receiving 499, the third 498 and so on. All finishers will be allocated points. The Garburn Trail, on 31st May, is the toughest trail of them all, and therefore points earned on this trail will be higher. ie : fastest = 600 points, 2nd 599 points, 3rd 598 points etc,etc.
The Puma Lakeland Trails 2008 series ranking lists will be posted on the Lakeland Trails pages of the website, immediately after each event. Although the Challenge and Nordic Walking are essentially non-competitive, your finishing times will still qualify you for ranking points.
