The Series

Welcome to the LVO WEE Series web site. The Wednesday evening events will run through out the month of May, with a second series planned for August. Further details about the August Series will be available later. The events are planned to replace the wednesday outdoor training which ran in previous years.

The Format

This is an experimental informal series of events aimed at providing some local mid-week competitive courses focusing on the social side. There will be an opportunity to go for a short warm-up run as a group before the race at 7pm. No starts will be available after 8pm. There will also be helpful advice and coaching available for new-comers. The customary rehydration in a local pub will also take place after the race. Entry fee of £1.50 per person.

The plan is for two events to be available each night: a short and a long course. The short course will be of a 'yellow' type standard of 1.5 - 2.5km distance. The long 'light green' type course will be approximatly 4-6 km depending on the area. Points will be awarded depending on performance, and the best 3 results from the series will be used to determine the overall series winner. In general control sites will be using the POC markers. However, a fixed course will be defined between the sites, and additional sites may be used to 'spice' up the courses.

The Points

An expected time will be calculated for each runner dependant upon their club handicap as defined on the LVO website. The handicap list is also available on this site, with a list of expected times for various distances of courses. Competitors will be ranked dependant on how their perform against their expected time. Thus everyone will be able to compete on an equal footing.
