Why is the "Vāvere" distance recommended for runners over 20?

The distance "Vāvere" is recommended from the age of 20 because the distance "School Youth Championship" is available to the participants of the trail running series "Stirnu buks" who are younger than 20 years old. The distance of the School Youth Championship is the same length as the "Squirrel" distance, but it is intended for young people to compete against each other and represent their school. The "Vāvere" and "School Youth Championship" distance participation fees differ. The "School Youth Championship" participation fee is at a reduced price.

How are points in the individual standings calculated and winner of the season determined?

In the individual standings of the deer buck, participants compete in 6 distances, accumulating points in 5 stages of the season. In the final stage, the TOP20 starts in a "chase" format, where the leader goes first on the track, and the others - with a certain time interval. The winners of the overall ranking of the season will be determined on October 11 at the "Pļaviņu Grand Final"!

How will the total score of the teams be calculated?

In the STB Super League, teams (4-12 members) compete by accumulating points in the Stirnu buka stages. After the first 3 stages, the teams are divided into leagues, and from the 4th stage, the PlayOff battles begin, where the best teams are determined in pairs. The champion of the season is the team that wins the final stage, but the two weakest teams fight for a place in the league at the end of the season against the two best teams from the lower league.

The team's score includes the highest total points from 4 team members, regardless of gender:

  • "Vāvere" & "School Championship" → Only distance points;
  • "Zaķis", "Stirnu buks", "Lūsis"/"Vilks" → Distance points + sprint stage points;
  • and 3 participants with the highest sum of points, regardless of distance.

How will the overall rating of the "League of Friends in cooperation with AKROPOLE shopping centers" be calculated?

Register a team of 3-6 people and collect the completed distances. During the season, the team must collect at least 21 distances to participate in the draw for the main prize—a 1000 EUR AKROPOLE gift card. The team can include both trail runners and walkers and the choice of distances is free. The main thing is to finish within the control time. Log in to your Stirnu buk profile, create a team, and collect distance finishes.
