Team Scoring

In both races a maximum of seven athletes may be entered by each Member Federation, though no more than five will be allowed to start, with three to score.

Each race shall be scored separately. The team results shall be decided by the aggregate of times recorded by the scoring athletes of each team. The team with the lowest aggregate of times will be judged the winner. If a team fails to finish with a complete scoring team, the runners finishing shall be counted as individuals in the race result and be eligible for the individual awards. In the event of a tie, it shall be resolved in favour of the team whose last scoring member finishes nearer to first place.
