Road Race Championships

Club Road Championships

With the Road Championships we try to support as many local races – mostly arranged by running clubs just like us – as we can sensibly fit into the calendar. Currently these are split into two distinct competitions; we have a series of longer-distance events which are anything from 10miles upwards, and the ‘standard’ championships which at present are mostly 10k races. Each series has it’s own points and subsequent prizes.

 

Although some races feature pretty much permanently in the Championships, we do try to keep things fresh by rotating / adding events each year if we can. In that vein – let us know if you’ve any events you’d like us to have a look at for future Championship series.

Championship Events

The Road Championships events are shown below….

There is one major change to previous seasons. We now have 9 races in each series but only your best 6 scores will count towards your league  position. The points scoring system remains the same as previous years but should you run more than 6 races in a series the lowest of your scores will drop off. 

 You will also see that 4 events are in both series and this is because they offer a choice of distances and the hope is by having this choice we can get more Green & Blue at these events supporting each other; you will just have to decide which distance to run at each for which series you want it to count in. Each competition will use basically the same points system, which is devised in an attempt to promote improvement and participation, meaning that it is not just about outright speed or ability. There will be worthwhile prizes for 1-2-3 in both the male & female competitions.

We try to support as many local races as we can, and the Championships have become an integral and popular part of our Club activities
