New for 2026 we are bringing back the WDAC Trail League!
This is a beginner friendly mix of races that rewards consistent appearances rather than outright speed. All races are local and feature a range of distances and terrain, suitable for everyone. The cross country ones are free to enter!
The scoring works as follows:
- 1 point for the 1st WDAC runner, 2 points for second and so on.
- 4 races must be completed to score in the league.
- The lowest score out of 4 races at the end of the league wins.
