The Club Championship for 2009 was brilliant as a way to reward our club members who complete races of all distances, so for 2010, this is what we have come up with:
1. Club Championship
This will consist of 10 races in the year 2010 and you must complete 7 out of the 10 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 7 out of 10 scores will count for this competition. There will also be a prize for the person who completes all of these races.
The races this year are:
1. Brass Monkey Half Marathon - 24th January
2. Dewsbury 10k - 7th February
3. Wakefield 10k – 28th March
4. Leeds Half Marathon – 9th May (although if you are doing the London Marathon you can use this as an alternative)
5. Roberttown 7 - 6th June
6. Bradford parkrun - 26th June
7. Eccup 10 mile – 11th July
8. Harewood 10 mile (trail) – 3rd October
9. Leeds parkrun - 16th October
10. Abbey Dash 10k – 21st 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 January 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. Races of marathon distance and over will receive 130 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. Email us on results@hydeparkharriers.co.uk.
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.
