2008 JD Cross Country Schedule (Click here for Open and Masters schedule)

Events with a * are part of the JD series - there are 5 races,  points need to be scored in 3 races to be scored in the series  but it is fine to run as few or as many as you like.  Distances will be posted once those are available, but for most of the JD races the distances are 2-3 km.   Ages above JD have an additional 3 races in the series - points must be scored in 4 of the 7 races to be counted in the series. The points are assigned as follows: 1st = 30 points, 2nd = 27, 3rd = 25, 4th = 23, 5th = 21, 6th to 25th each place drops 1 point.  The series age categories are based on the year of birth: 1993, '94, '95, '96, '97, '98, '99.  Trophies to the first 3 boys and girls in each age group.
