For 2026 the championship which will incorporate a mixture of short, medium and long races.  Scoring and rules are as follows:

• You must be signed up as Insch Trail Running Club and wear an ITRC top/vest/jacket (weather dependant obviously) when competing in the race.
• Scoring will be simple and based on ITRC finishing position only.  So first ITRC male or female gains 100 points, 2nd – 99 points, 3rd – 98 points etc.
• You must complete 6 races in total, including one short, one medium, and one long.
• Your best six positions will be counted, however if you complete more than 6 races you will gain an additional 5 points per race.
• Completing the Scottish Hill Running Chamionship series, or Long Classic series, you gain 100 points which can be counted as one of the six races.
• In the unlikely event of a draw between 2 athletes then we will check head to head results.  If still a tie then the score for the 7th race is included (then 8th race, 9th race etc if required).

Below is a list of all the races including dates they commence (if known) Reminders will also be posted on the ITRC Facebook page and will be listed on the Stack Team App so nobody misses out:

In addition to the club championship there will be a trophy for the most improved male and female runner in the club as well as the Memorial Quaich which will be awarded to the runner whom the club feels has been most inspirational over the year.
