1. Club Championship
This will consist of 7 races in the year 2009 and you must complete 5 out of the 7 to qualify. We have tried to include races of different distances and surfaces. For every race you complete from this list you will receive 100 points. Following that, the first man and woman to finish will receive 30 points which will then decrease by one point for subsequent finishers. Your best 5 out of 7 scores will count for this competition.
The races this year are:
- Wakefield 10k – 5th April
- Leeds Half Marathon – 10th May (although if you are doing the London or Edinburgh Marathon you can use these as an alternative)
- Parkrun Leeds 5k - 13th June
- Eccup 10 mile – 12th July
- Sandal Castle 10k (multi-terrain) – 6th September
- Harewood 10 mile (trail) – 4th October
- Abbey Dash 10k – 22nd November
2. Racer of the Year
This is to reward members who compete in a large number of races throughout the year. This year’s competition begins on 1st April and will end on the day of Abbey Dash in November. For each race you complete you will receive 50 points except the parkrun Leeds weekly 5k races which will gain you 15 points. Points from ALL the championship races listed above will also count for this competition. It is vital that you let us know which races you have done in order to keep this league up to date and if you have any photos we can post, that would be great.
3. Supporters' League
We all appreciate people supporting us in races and know how important this is, so we have also decided to keep a tally of the number of races you come to to cheer us on.
The prizes for these competitions will be awarded at the annual run club party which will be held at the end of November or during December. Only our affiliated club members will be eligible, so collect your form at run club or contact us via email to request one.
Note: this is a trial run for 2009 and we will review all this for 2010.
