There are 22 races in total - (9 Home and 13 Away) for our purposes both Passing Clouds and Roaches are home races - comprising 5 Long, 8 Medium and 9 Short.

Howgills, Grisedale Horseshoe and Ilam are English Championship counters, Ras Y Moelwyn is a British counter.

There are no clashes with the other National races (as popular opinion requested) which will facilitate a concerted effort by Mercians in all 3 Championships! One point to note however is that Callow is the day after Blackfell which will be a challenging double for some!

The National Championship points system will apply for 2019;

52 points for the first Mercian home, 49 for 2nd, 48 for third and so on.

In the event of more than 50 Mercians competing in a race, the 50th finisher and any subsequent runners would all gain 1 point.

Qualifying criteria;

U18 Best 4 short races
U23, Open, V40 and V50 6 best races to count which must include at least one from each distance and one away race.
V60 Best 6 races, at least one short, one medium and one away (no requirement for a long race to be included).
