2021 Club Championship

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.
Given that the current government plans for ending lockdown are limiting which events can take place, the first half of this years championship is likely to be made up of ‘virtual’ events but we hope to get back to running in ‘real’ races later in the year.
The nominated races for 2021 are shown in the table below :

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 :

Each year the club runs separate championship competitions for Male & Female members with the winners receiving a trophy engraved with their name, which they keep for the following 12 months. Each month between January and December, a local race is designated as a championship qualifying race.

Results are Age Graded and based upon these age graded results you are awarded points (1 point for the winner, 2 points for second etc). If you do not run a race you are automatically awarded 25 points! The runner in each championship with the least number of points at the end of the year is crowned Champion. You must enter at least 3 races to compete and your best 6 results count.

County Standards

Since 2014, the club introduced County Standard awards for all members who wish to participate. The system works as follows:

Each race completed by a member over a certified distance is age-graded and then given a rating: Gold, Silver, Bronze etc using predefined performance bands
To qualify for an award, the club member has to record in 5 different distances during the year to gain an overall County Standard level, rewarded with a club certificate
Race selection for the club championship will be adjusted to assist the collection of different distances, but any certified race will count
A certified race is any race with an accurately measured course. parkruns are included and Road Races will be provide a better opportunity to gain a faster time than off-road
Member’s progress towards their overall County Standard can be viewed via the Club Championship Table (see separate tab)
