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. This years nominated races (2019) are shown in the table 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.
