- the three runners can run different races, as long as they each run the HEB3
Notes on all prizes
- if a runner wins a prize on more than one category (other than a team prize), they will be awarded the better of the two.
- Categories are the traditional ages, ie vet is over 40 (male) and over 35 (female), and supervet is over 50 (male) and over 45 (female), irrespective of how they are awarded in each individual race.
Notes on Hebridean Marathons (May 24th and May 26th)
- the Point1 Callanish Stones marathon on 24th May DOES count towards the Heb3 for 2008. The time to be used for Heb3 calculation is half the full marathon time, less 10 minutes.
- the North Harris Trust marathon on 26th May DOES NOT count towards the Heb3 for 2008.
