Borders Hill Race Series 2016 - Inaugural Year

Hi all - I am co-ordinating the Inaugural Scottish Borders Hill Race Series this year.

The Series consists of 10 short to medium races throughout the Borders in Spring and Summer. Participants will have to complete a minimum of 5 races to qualify for a series placing. If you do more races then your 5 highest finishes will count.

There is no additional fee or registration required to enter the series. To take part you simply need to enter the participating races as normal which are mainly Entry On the Day (EOD) except the Eildons and Baddinsgill which are pre-entry only.

The races for 2016 will be:
