Each race uses the same course and the distance is approximately 8K. The competition is open to runners aged 16 or over, with ages recorded as at the date of the first race. Trophies are awarded for the series overall and there are individual awards based on each competitor's best positions in four of the five races. In the event of equal points, the award goes to the highest finisher in the fifth race or the fourth race if neither athlete competes in the final race. There are age category awards for female and male competitors and overall awards for the top three females and males.
