Mynydd Du Club Championships 2024
Mynydd Du Club Championships 2024 is GO! 🏃💨
Latest news
After two more counters, 🌄 Night(ish) Sugar and ⛰️ Fan y big, we have a slightly different look to the leaderboard.
A strong 💪 Mynydd Du showing at Evening Sugar, meant points galore, especially for Wyndham, Jon, Tom and Bethan who came home in 🥇1st, 🥉3rd, 4th and 🥇1st Female respectively.
Rhian scooped maximum points at Fan y big, with Debbie, Hilary and Nikki the other Mynydd Du finishers, so lots of points all round for them too!
The biggest gains in the leaderboard are for Wydnham, who is up to 🥉3rd place and Tom up to 4th place, albeit still very close to Matt, Brett and Joe. Female Top 3 stays the same although Rhian is now within striking distance with Rona and Debbie not far behind. All to play for still!
Next Race - Brecon Beacons - 18th August - Get those legs long-race ready!

Spiffy Prizes!
Spiffy Prizes for 1st, 2nd & 3rd places in Open and Ladies categories
So for example...
Running four of the counting races, say Cwm Nant y Groes, L-B, Cribyn and Talgarth could give you a maximum of 80 points (20 points x 4 races).
If you did one of the bonus point challenges you could get another 20 points for being the 1st place Mynydd Du runner
With the above races you would also have a Short, Medium and Long counter and would therefore get 5 extra bonus points
If you completed all eight counters you would get 1 extra point per race (4 extra points) and an extra bonus 3 points for completing all counting races.
If you broke the course record of one of the Races, say Black Mountains ;) then you would get an extra 10 points.
