Scoring is on the basis of age-grading, using members’ age at the start of the season.
The runner with the highest age grading in each division receives 50 points, the second highest receiving 49 points, etc.
A member’s 8 highest scoring races are added together to give the total championship score, which has a maximum of 400.
In the event of a tie the result will be based on head to head results between the two members.
Members are organised into Premier, First, and Second divisions.
The lowest/highest scoring 6 members are promoted/relegated each season. Additional members may be promoted to maintain Premier & First Divisions at 40 runners each.
New members join in the Second division.
Results are compiled by Tim Mosedale, using the club designation from official race results. If you don't appear as a Strider on the results due to admin errors, please get in touch.
Alongside the running championship, we have a personality championship that celebrates members who represent the club, in volunteering and team-based races, and through Strider of the Month recognition. It’s not about going fast, it’s all about showing up!
The championship year runs from April to March. Scoring is as follows:
