Result 3: The series

The series winners are calculated by taking an average of a runner’s two highest finishing positions of the series and combining it with time improvement across the series.

The winners were Lisa Leader & Dean Whittaker. Excellent effort guys!

We hope you’ve enjoyed the series, and would welcome any constructive feedback to help us make next year’s series even better.
