Kilmarnock Harriers ‘Club Together’ awards in association with Howdens Irvine

You may remember that last January we announced a new ‘Club Together’ award very generously
sponsored by Howdens in Irvine – the time has now come for you to submit your performances so
that you can be awarded your t-shirt and certificate at the awards night in March!
All you need to do is send an email to Nick at carterni@me.com with a list of completed
races/events in line with the criteria set out below by the 31 st of January at the latest. A list of all
athletes achieving this award will be published in early February.

Endurance Pathway
In order to be eligible for the ‘Club Together’ award, athletes must complete a minimum of 10
events in 2023, 4 of which must be club events as listed below. We are including our ‘in house’
events and also some events where you would be part of a team representing Kilmarnock Harriers –
we want to raise the profile of the club so it is really important to us to field as many teams as
possible at these events.

Events to count are as follows:
– Roon the Toon
– Rowallan Rosebowl (Jim Young 90 th Birthday Breakfast race this year)
– Club Champs
– Valley Dash
– Christmas Handicap
– Allan Scally Relays
– Ayrshire XC Relays
– West District XC Relays
– National XC Relays

Your other 6 races can be wherever you like and any distance (excluding Parkrun), we only ask that
you wear your Harriers vest or another branded Kilmarnock Harriers training top. If you compete at
a track event (for example running at a CSSAL event) this can be included, but the day will count
rather than the number of events completed in a day i.e. if you run two races it will only count as 1
event overall, see T&F pathway details for further explanation). Track events may only make up a
maximum of 2 of your ‘other’ events in order to count (excluding Club Champs).

Track and Field Pathway
We have a lot of athletes who compete in track and field events, and we want to recognise their club
representation also! Due to the nature of T&F events it is not as easy to set specific events, but we
do encourage everyone to take part in Club Champs. With that in mind, the criteria for the T&F
athletes is as follows:

12 days of competition completed in 2023 – we are requesting days rather than individual events as
some people will compete in multiple events in a day which would then give them an unfair
advantage over athletes only focusing on one event (runs, jumps and throws are ALL included). If
you compete at Club Champs then only 10 days of competition are required.

All events must be completed wearing your Kilmarnock Harriers vest. If any athlete following the
T&F programme wishes to compete in a road race or any of the relays listed in the Endurance
Pathway for example then a maximum of 2 of these can count towards your award (excluding Club
Champs).
