CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP

Overview, current standings, and event list

The club championship is an annual inter-club competition that encourages participation in local races, celebrates great performances and promotes friendly competition in our club.

Each year the club nominates specific races and encourages members to get out and run! Points are awarded to runners based on their age-graded performance.

The club championship begins in April and runs to the end of March yearly. You will be asked if you wish to opt in or out when you sign up as a member. Races are spread across the year and you are able to join the club championship no matter when you join the club.
