Headbangers Events
THE HEADBANGERS SERIES
The Headbangers series is aimed at those runners who enjoy the challenge of getting off-road and tackling some of our more difficult local terrain. Two events are run simultaneously, a Short Race competition (SR) and an All Round competition (AR). A full list of rules is available here. 2006 Final Standings are available here and a list of previous winners is available here.
This year's races are again being organised by Chris Hopkinson and Carolyn Lee. More information is to be added when available.
Please note: SR refers to the Short Race competition and AR to the all round competition.
