The club championship tables have now been updated following the Handy Cross 5k.
The club championship tables have now been updated following the Wargrave 10k.
The club championship tables have now been updated after the great runs at the Marlow 5, please see the Club Championship page for results to date and dates for the rest of the championship.
The club championship tables have now been updated after the great runs at the Maidenhead 10, please see the Club Championship page for results to date and dates for the rest of the championship. Thanks to Tom and Chris for their hard work!
Reminder 1 - We have three club championships; men’s, ladies’, and an overall age-graded championship, so everyone has a good chance. On top of that it’s the best 7 (for men) or 5 (for ladies) or 6 (for the age-graded) races that count, so with 8 races to go you could win even if you haven’t raced yet!
Reminder 2 - Age-grading is calculated from the world record for the same distance and is normalised for age and gender. For more details on how age-grading works, please see frequently asked questions on the Running for Fitness site, or feel free to ask one of the committee members. There is also a good online calculator if you’re curious as to how you would score.
Details of the club championship are now online, please see the Club Championship page for details.
There is now an age-graded category as well as Men’s/Ladies, so the older runners have a real chance. (I’m still last though!!)
For more details on how age-grading works, please see frequently asked questions on the Running for Fitness site, or feel free to ask one of the committee members.
