Let’s get registered 🙂 Click here

Welcome to ROUND 3 – Virtual Winter Mob Match – Individual Entry

This is where you as an individual enter into your team’s mob match.

This round works just like the previous 2 rounds, just scroll down, find and enter your match  (make sure you select the Confirm button), choose an (eligible) 5k route, run it, and submit your time.

You will receive an email confirmation if you’ve entered successfully – contact us if you don’t get one.

===================== Final Qualifying Round……..so what happens next ??? ========================

At the end of this round, we will be saying goodbye to some of the teams as we reach the end of the qualifying rounds.

We’ll calculate the top 2 teams per band based on your team scoring 2 points per win during rounds 1,2 & 3. Any ties will be decided by your team’s total number of individual points across the 3 rounds.

This means that for bands 1, 2 & 4, round 4 will be a rest week as the top 2 teams in groups 2 and 3 play a semi final to decide the finalists for band 3.

Round 5 will then be the Finals for each band.

We’ll be posting updates on our Facebook event page – just click the Facebook logo on the left of the ‘Results’ button at the top of this screen.

=============================================================================================

Entry cost is per team, not per runner so you will not pay a fee to enter your match.

Every finisher counts towards the team score, having the fastest runners doesn’t guarantee your team the win but the number of runners you get out could just do it for you.

General rules:

• any member of your team/club/group plus their parents and their children (aged 11+)  are eligible to run for you
• only runs/walks started and completed within the match dates will be accepted
• your 5k must start and end at the same place OR have no more than 15m overall descent
• time taken is your elapsed time, not your moving time
• You can update your time if you run a faster 5k during your mob match – e-mail us at [email protected] if you need to do this

There are full details of the rules and the entered teams/groups here: Mob Match Rules & Instructions

Your team captains are permitted to amend eligibility rules in agreement with your opposing team’s captain so be sure you and your route are still eligible before you head out.

Please read the instructions before setting out on your attempt
