The Club Championship started in 2010 to instill some friendly competition between members wishing to participate in races. At the beginning of each year a list of races is compiled by club members at a variety of distances ranging from 5K up to marathon. Members can run in as many races as they wish and points are earned based on age and performance in the race. The best 6 results for each member count towards the Championship. There is no requirement to participate in the Championship, it is entirely the members own choice.
Since 2016, we now have a prize for the “Most Improved Athlete”. This will be awarded to the man or woman who has the most improved average performance compared with the previous year.
