League scores

The League was formed in 1988 to encourage members to train regularly and go to races as a club.

League races

The committee will select up to ten races; half of these will be scored using the age-graded table the rest will be scored on finish positions.   Members will be able to choose and 4 from 5 in each category. If all five races are run then the first four will be used.

League points
1st male and female 5 points
2nd male and female 4 points
3rd male and female 3 points
all other finishers  2 points

In the age graded races the person to finish in the quickest age graded time 5 points, second 4 points and third 3 points. All other finishers 2 points.

Cross country league races

All finishers score 3 points regardless of position. Members who have helped organize instead of running in our race will also score 3 points.

Marathons

5 points will awarded for completing a marathon, unless it is your first attempt or a PB, which will score 10 points.

Club handicap

Two handicap races - one about mid June (this will have the shield as the prize) and one as the last race of the year with the handicap loosely based on the first.

The club handicap will be scored based on the number of finishers.

The first finisher will score a number of points equal to the number of finishers and the second finisher will be one point less than that etc. through to the last finisher who will score one point.

Other events

Runner of the month is awarded 3 points

Club members may claim 2 points for up to five other events during the year providing the following; They don't clash with a league event, (nominated league race, cross-country race, or the club handicap), They are 5 miles or over, They are on a certified measured course.

Points must be claimed by notifying the person responsible for keeping the league scores.

Points must be claimed no later than two club nights after the end of the month they were run in.

Points can not be claimed any later than one week before the annual club dinner. 

At the annual club dinner an award will be made to the person with the most points.
