2024/25 Season

We have five teams; 3 men’s teams and 2 women’s teams.

Our Men’s teams are: Port Talbot Harriers, PTH Reds and PTH Wizards.

Our Women’s teas are: Port Talbot Harriers Ladies and Port Talbot Harriers Scarlets / Reds

Please contact one of the team captains to check which team to run for.

There are no age categories in this league. Everybody runs the same race at the same time, occasionally the women may start 5 minutes before the men to prevent overcrowding. In this league the top 5 runners score for each team, however every runner’s participation is relevant as if there is a points tie with two teams the other times are taken into consideration.

For this league you only need to be a first claim club member (and not run for any other club during this season) and can wear the either the white or black PTH vest/t-shirt.

Before the race

Some fixtures will have limited on-the-day entries, on a first come first served basis.

Please see our XC page or speak to our captains regarding which of our 5 teams you will represent.

After the race

Nothing required after the race! There is no chip timing, the organisers will track your finish by logging your race bib number.

There will be an update on the new scoring system for this upcoming season. Stay tuned!

Previous Scoring System:

1. If there are 100 athletes in the race the winner will get 100 match points, the person who is last will get 1 point (guests don't score).

2. 5 athletes score per team (so if one team has the first 5 athletes they will get 100+99+98+97+96=490 match points)

3. The team with the most match points wins the match.

4. Teams are split into Divisions.

5 In Mens Division 1, there are 8 teams, so the team with the most match points will get 8 league points, the team that is second will get 7 league points etc.

6. League positions are determined by who has the most league points.

7. If two teams have the same number of league points, the team with the most number of match points gains the higher league position.
