CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP RACES

2013 Club Championship races

Below are the club championship races for 2013. For clarity, it is worth explaining briefly how the race results are scored into points.

• For most races listed below, each entrant will be awarded points based on their position, ie if 5 club entrants participate, the 1st will be awarded 5 points, 2nd 4 points, etc. If there are less 3 entrants, the first will receive 3 points.
• Any Marathon will be based on your single best time, and awarded in a similar fashion as above when compared against other club member's times.
• The completion of up to two Ultra Marathons will mean any runner who finishes will receive 3 points for each race, regardless of position.
• For the club 5K handicap, the winner each month will receive 3 points (Jan-Dec 2013). You can win this as many times as you like!
• Parkruns will be scored as your best 2 times for any race between April and September) and ranked alongside every other position (same point system as 1. above).  For more info on the weekly Parkruns, which are organised at various locations, see http://www.parkrun.org.uk/.

You will note that we have introduced a new point system for marshalling. Dunbar hosts 3 races, and each club member who marshalls at a club event will receive 2 points for each race. We generally do not encourage club members to run the club races, as there is always a shortage of volunteers to help out with marshalling, timekeeping and positions - your assistance with the club events will be much appreciated in 2013.
