There are loads of races to go at this year… and it’s your best 10 scores that count, so no need to fret if you can’t do them all – just crack on, and do whichever you can. See the additional notes below the table about races to be be confirmed or to added, and note that this whole table is only confirmed within reason. It’s possible the races may be changed if circumstances change
Do take note of the notes in the table… including the rules for completing a marathon and/or ultramarathon (only your best marathon counts, by the way, and only one ultramarathon can score)
Points are awarded – generally speaking 10 points for first Spirit finisher in any given race (the two genders are treated as separate races). Second place gets 9 etc. Everyone who completes will get at least one point. Also note that there are two championships running concurrently here… the Runner of the Year, and an age-graded version which, if you’re not familiar, is like a handicap system that adjusts for the ravages of age on our bodies! So if you’re aged 55 and you finish just behind a 21 year old, then you will score less well than the youngster in the ‘Runner of the Year’ competition, but will very likely outscore them in the age-graded competition. Male and Female competitions take place in parallel.
The version of club championship races here is current as at end of Jan 2024. As time goes on, races will hopefully be confirmed (or potentially deleted if needed)… so keep your eye out for updates using the usual more dynamic club communication channels. This website will catch up shortly afterwards! You can download the table – where you can find helpful links to help you find more details about the races.
