The new Italian Series will be developed on 4 races, very different from each other. Runners in Elite and Age Group categories will accumulate points based on their results after each of the 4 events in the series.
It starts with the amazing Sprint race of Cesenatico, continues with the Beast of Dolomiti Alleghe-Civetta and the Super of Maggiora then moves on to Misano Adriatico, the final race of the Italian Series.
HERE ARE THE 4 RACES OF THE SERIES:
CESENATICO 28th May - SPRINT
DOLOMITI ALLEGHE-CIVETTA 25th June - BEAST
MAGGIORA 25th July - SUPER
MISANO ADRIATICO 17th September - BEAST
The regulation doesn't require a minimum number of races to attend. Only the final race is mandatory to participate, which in 2022 will be the Beast of Misano Adriatico.
If 2 (or more) athletes finish the overall series with the same points collected, the order in the overall National Series ranking will be based on the better result in the final race of the series of each athlete. Misano Beast result will then determine the order in the Italy National Series overall ranking.
For the Italian Series 3 out of 4 races will count into the final ranking, so the maximum number of results considered is from your best 3 races. If you do or finish less than 3 races it will count accordingly only those results.
This 2022 Series will focus on elevating Age group athletes therefore, there will also be prizes for both categories Elite (cash prize money) and Age group (non-cash prizes). More information on these prizes will be released soon.

Age Group National Series Point System
All races are scored using a 1,000 point system. Points are assigned based on an athlete's final place and their gender, within their specified age group category.
Points are calculated using the following formula.
1st Place Age Group Finishers Time (Minutes)/Your Finish Time (Minutes) x 1000 = Total Points Score
Example:
- 1st Place Age Group Time - 60:00 Minutes
- Your Time - 72:00 Minutes
- 60/72 x 1000 = 833 Points
Competitors ranked below 1,000 place in their Age Group will not earn any points.
