2025/26 Cross Country Handicap Competition Standings

Author: erradmin 17th December 2025

That’s right, it’s back for another year. Remember that your best 4 results will count overall, so if you’ve missed a round (which many people have), then all is not lost, and you may still win the coveted shield.

Other than that, the usual explanation applies, in that this is a handicap competition, so you are rated against last year’s performances, and the most improved should win. If you didn’t take part last year, a handicap figure is assigned, and this is hopefully chosen so as to keep people interested, but no one should win thanks to an arbitrarily decided handicap.

Now updated after round 3…
