About the Club Championship Award

This award group was new for 2009, during which 114 Club members took part in the chosen races - a great level of participation for the first year. Our Club Championship is modelled on championship schemes observed at other running clubs. It aims to:

  • Include a more diverse range of race distances/disciplines in the awards
  • Enable more members to participate in and qualify for awards
  • Reward members for racing for their club, particularly in local events and leagues
  • Support local races
  • Encourage and recognise the race to race rivalry with your similar paced running friends

    • Club Championship Overview

    For the Club Championship, members score points according to their finishing position relative to other club members in any of the chosen Club Championship races. A list of Club Championship races can be found on the notice-board, the website (see link on the right) and in The Runs. There are plenty of races of different distances to choose from.

    Members’ final scores will be a total of scores from up to six races from the current season. Note that you do not have to do six races before you obtain a Championship score. If you do fewer than six races, all your races will count. If you do more than six races from the list, your best six races will count.

    Within the Club Championship there are separate male and female leagues. In each league, there are currently four Divisions, (more divisions will be added if numbers increase signicantly.)

    New members are allocated to divisions according to a recent five mile (i.e. the Time Trial) or 10K race times. This time does not have to be submitted before being able to score in another longer or shorter event. There will be awards for the first and second places in each Division.
