BEN JACOBS CROSS COUNTRY RUNNERS

The committee wanted to name an award in Ben’s honour and as he had a particular affinity for cross country races, we felt that this was the appropriate choice.

Best average age graded performances across 3 or more XC races (SWL or county)
Age grading isn’t accurate on cross country events, but does give a reliably comparable metric.
