Club Competitions

We run 3 competitions each year open to all 1st claim club members.

Road Rankings

As the name suggests, the road rankings are a way of sorting club members road race results into an order. To calculate club members Road Rankings for each year we use five specified distances:

  • 1 mile (this has to be the club mile)

  • 5 Miles

  • 10 Kilometres

  • 10 Miles

  • Half Marathon

Club members best times for each event are first ranked with the runner who has the fastest time scoring 150 points, the next fastest 149, and so on. This means the maximum a runner can score if they have the fastest time for each distance is 600 points (4 x 150), if a runner finishes 2nd at two distances and 3rd at the other two distances then they would score 594 points (149+149+148+148).

The road rankings are separated into mens and ladies competitions, with 1st and 2nd places in each age categories receiving awards.
