Club Championship

Notes 2014

The races forming the 2014 Club Championship have now been established. The Club Championship will be split into two for 2014. There will be a male and female championship for road running and a separate male and female championship for off-road. We intend to award 1st, 2nd and 3rd places in each championship rather than the 5 in previous years. There will also be a prize for the winner of the following Vet categories:

Male: V40, V50 and V60
Female: V35, V45 and V55

Please note that a runner can only win one prize in the Road Championship and one prize in the Off-Road Championship (e.g. if a MV40 runner comes 1st, 2nd or 3rd overall he cannot also claim the 1st MV40 prize).

You will see from the list (see link below) that the road running component will consist of 12 counting races, plus the marathon. The off-road championship consists of 4 counting races from the short distance, 4 from the long distance and 1 from the Cross Country category. We will inform you of the other 2 or 3 Cross Country races for the rest of the year in due course.

Below is a link to the full draft 2014 Club Championship list of races. You can get more detail about each race via the events calendar.
