About
We are excited to announce the inaugural Mort Daly Running Foundation Under 18 Series for the 2025/26 Season!
Thanks to sponsors the Mort Daly Running Foundation, competitors will vie for the Mort Daly Cup, accumulating points throughout the season at under 18 races.
There will be prizes for Girl’s and Boy’s categories. Those with the top points at the end of the season will win the following prizes.
How will it work?
Athletes will accumulate points as follows in nominated races:
Points awarded are doubled for country meets – Crystal Brook, Mt Barker and Loxton.
In the event of a tie, a count back on who obtained the most wins will be undertaken, if there is still a tie then the most 2nds and so on until a winner is determined.
If the race is a mixed under 18 race points will apply to 1st, 2nd and 3rd only.
Series Races
All under 18 races will be included in this series.
