Thornbury Running Club

Road Race Championship 2012

 

The following rules will apply to the RRC in 2012.

Please note that the TRC Committee has now widened the definition of ‘road running’ in this competition to include any event during the calendar year, whether on road or off road, as long as it is one of the 3 distances listed below, and provides an official result over an accurately measured distance.  TRC handicaps therefore do not qualify.

It has also been decided to exclude the Sundayshill 10k, since Club members are expected to make themselves available to marshal this race.

Trophies will be awarded to Club members in the following categories:

Female RRC Champion

Male RRC Champion

Female RRC Champion – Age-adjusted

Male RRC Champion – Age-adjusted

Only one cup will be awarded to any individual.  Where an athlete is a winner in both categories, the age-adjusted trophy will be awarded to the runner-up in that category.

Only distances below will count towards the RRC.  N.B.  To qualify for the RRC runners must enter as TRC Club members and are therefore expected to wear Club colours.

Half-marathon                      

10k                                         

5k                                           

In order to qualify in this competition you must complete at least one race in each of these distances.  Your best result at each distance will be used to calculate your overall total.

The male and female champions will have the lowest total time.

The age-adjusted champions, male and female, will have the highest overall percentage (based on a universally-used algorithm –http://misweb.cbi.msstate.edu/~rpearson/index.shtml has some background, if you are interested).

Only the official race results for each race will be used, so it is imperative to run in your own name!

Our thanks to Craig Carscadden  for acting as organiser of this Championship.

Please email him (craigcarscadden@btinternet.com) or otherwise send him in writing any race result you wish to be included in your series.  Only these results will be counted.  Craig will be the final arbiter in judging whether an event qualifies for inclusion.

Happy Running!
