Strider of the month
For 2016 we are making some changes to the strider of the month.  You will still be able to nominate anyone who you think deserves to be Strider of the month.  Members of the committee will then produce a shortlist and members will be asked to vote for the one member from the shortlist they think deserves to win.

All members nominated for Strider of the month will receive points towards the club personality of the year award.
Club Championship
2016 Championship

The 2016 championship will be reduced to just 20 races, the first being the Dewsbury 10k on 7th February.  There will be no additional races as in previous years and members will be divided into 3 divisions based on their position within the 2015 championship with promotion and relegation at the end of the year.

The races included in the 2016 championship are listed in the upcoming races section.
