Club Championship

Notes 2004

The Club Championship will include races in the following categories:-
5 Mile (4 from 9)
10km (3 from 7)
10 Mile (1 from 3)
Half Marathon (2 from 5)
Multi-terrain (7 from 17)
Miscellaneous (1 from 3)
Full Marathon (Any 1)

There are 45 races in total and the Club Championship will be decided on your best performances in 19 of them.

We will continue to have a "Grand Prix" race in each category when an extra 5 points will be awarded to each runner. The Grand Prix races will be:-
Weston Prom Run (May)
Bideford 10K
Oldbury Power Station
Gloucester Half Marathon
Drogo 10
Burnham Beach

There are 11 new races this year.

As last year the Mens and Ladies will be scored differently. The Mens First runner will get 20 points, the second 19 points, down to 1 point for the 20th runner and below. The exceptions to this are the Prom Runs and the Tough 10 where because of the higher numbers of Club Members participating the points will start at 30.

The First Lady will get 10 points, the second 9, down to 1 point for 10th place and below. There will be no extra points for the Prom Runs and Tough 10 unless our Lady Membership increases enough to warrant it.

Any Runner helping to Marshall a Club Race will be awarded 5 points.

Extra Points will be awarded as follows:-
Men Over 40 (1 point)
Ladies Over 35 (1 point)
Men Over 50 (2 points)
Ladies Over 45 (2 points)
Men Over 60 (3 points)
Ladies Over 55 (3 points)

A P.B. on last years time an extra 2 points will be awarded (only 1 event in each category and compared to Club Races last year). In the Multi-terrain and Misc. Category P.B. Points will only be awarded in the equivalent race, e.g. Exmoor Stagger 2004 against the Exmoor Stagger 2003. This is because each Multi and Misc Course is run over different distances. This rule will apply as long as the Course is not significantly changed from the previous year.
