The Club has a fund which can be applied to for help with costs such as (but not exclusively) membership or entry fees, travel, accommodation costs for events.

• All applications must be submitted by the end of June for the financial year by completing the application form on the club website 
• All applications will be considered together for that financial year so that the committee can consider all requests in line with available budget 
• There is no minimum or maximum amount that can be applied for.
• Fund can go towards race entry, travel and accommodation etc.
• Fund cannot be used to buy any equipment. 
• Receipt of application will be acknowledged by email

Club championships introduction

Each year the club nominates a number of races that members can compete in and the results (which are age graded) form the basis of the yearly Club Championship. There are separate championships for men and women, and the winners are presented with a trophy at the annual Christmas meal.
You must enter at least 3 of the nominated races to take part, and it is your best 6 race results which count towards your championship total. After age grading the first (male & female) get 1 point each, 2nd = 2 points, 3rd = 3 points etc. If you don’t enter an event you get 25 points. The male & female with the lowest points tally at the end of the year are the club champions.

The full rules for the club championships can be found here

Final 2020 Championship Tables

All Standings

Sadly in 2020 only the first 3 races in the championship fixture list took place and then Covid restrictions meant that the rest of the planned events were cancelled. We did try to continue with some fun self isolating events but these naturally fizzled out and so no championship trophies were awarded in 2020.
The tables (such as they are) are shown below :

2017 Club Championship #4: Belvoir Half Marathon

The sun was certainly beating down on Sunday 9th April at our 4th Club Championship race of the year, in the little village of Hose for the Belvoir Half Marathon. A Spring favourite within the club, the flat-ish course is good for PBs and welcoming for first timers. We had good turnout of 13 club mates take on the 13.1 miles through the villages of the vale of Belvoir. It was close in the men’s race with Chris Jones finishing in a great time of 1:41:39 with Martin Gordon-Kerr not far behind in 1:42:56 . It was even closer in the ladies competition, with Helen Duncan finishing in 1:49:51 just 30 seconds ahead of Emma Potter in 1:50:23. However there were some position changes once age-grading had been applied.

The full results (in order of age-grade) were as follows:

Ladies

Men’s

Congratulations then to Paul Rogerson and Nikki Loomes for great performances in order to take the honours in respect of the Championship points. Special mention should go to Gary Kirk, Hannah Tee and Sam Jeffries. All graduates of last year’s Beginners sessions and have now gone onto completing the Half Marathon distance. I know that this is Gary and Hannah’s first half marathon. Not quite so sure that this was Sam’s first time at this distance but it does make up for her disappointment after having to pull out of last year’s Rutland Half Marathon due to injury. Great achievement guys 🙂

So in the men’s Championship, Sean McAuliffe is still in the lead with Paul and Dave Summers in 2nd and 3rd respectively. Meantime things have the potential to be even more competitive with the Ladies. Currently Helen Duncan is leading on 31 points with Kate Howes just behind. However if Jo Smith, Emma Potter and Nikki Loomes complete some more races then things could get very exciting – keep it up.

The next Championship Race is the Wymeswold Waddle on Sunday 14.May. See club calendar for more details.

RR&TC Racer: The “Pacer” Edition #149

Hi Rutlanders

What a scorcher we all enjoyed last weekend. Those temperatures certainly serve as a reminder of the need to ensure that you have some water or better still an isotonic drink with you if planning on running (or biking) for more than 30 minutes. So enjoy the warm sunshine (when it returns) and make sure you have some sun protection too.

This week we have the results of the latest Championship race plus news from the Brighton Marathon and a 100 mile Sportive and more, so grab a cuppa and enjoy 🙂

Here is this week’s news …
