Rules/general
+ The Summer Series is designed as a more accessible, more local, shorter-term, shorter-distance, lower-cost version of the Championship, held partly on Summer evenings, from late April to the end of August (normally, sometimes a bit later).
+ Aside from those seeking to win silverware/glassware for a Top Three finish in this contest (separate contests for M and F, but no age category prizes), there is a finisher medal for those that ‘complete’ the annual series.
+ To receive a Summer Series (SS) medal, you need to complete 6 out of 8 nominated SS races (as per the list below).
+ Full rules, scoring etc appear at 4 here.
+ Each year, the Series seeks to avoid (too many) clashes with the summer holiday season, and, with its 6-from-8 approach provides good flexibility.
+ After discussion at the 2022 AGM, where it was tentatively proposed (but strongly rejected) to make the SS ‘more tarmac’, the SS remains a mixture of road, trail and mixed road/trail races.
+ Courses/races used since 2013 are/were these (showing how many needed to be completed each year; rules have altered over the years).

If a race is lost…
The rules allow for more ad hoc replacements than is allowed in the Championship. If a race is lost, we shall seek to find a replacement of similar length (if possible), preferably (but not necessarily) in Perthshire, and offer a minimum of 2 weeks of notice (and ideally more) for this. Members will be notified by email/here and on the website/FB page.
