Winter Points Announcement

With all of the summer events now completed we now start to look forward to the winter league.
However, there is still some admin required before we can finalise the standings for the summer leagues
and announce our winners. There is still the opportunity to obtain points for your best Parkrun, Half
Marathon and Marathon performances – in order to do this you will need to submit your best times
between 1/4/23 and 1/10/23 (for Parkrun and HM) and between 1/4/23 and 1/11/23 but if you have a
marathon falling shortly after that please let us know and we will aim to accommodate. If you have yet to
submit times please send them to jenniferb_36@hotmail.com or via Facebook messenger to Jennifer.
Final results will be published after the marathon cut off time.

Now for the part you have all been waiting for – the winter points league. Races have been agreed
as follows, with additional bonus points available for competing at club events and at National level
events – we want to see as many blue and white vests on the Scottish stage as possible this year.
The rules are as follows:

Best 8 scores from the 15 events listed to count. Unlike previous years, all points obtained
at relays will count rather than only a set number.

Points will be awarded from 10 down to 1, with all participants getting at least 1 point for finishing
(plus any bonus points as above). Your best 8 scores will count, and prizes will also be awarded to
the highest scoring V40/V50/V60 (and above if required) providing a minimum of 5 events are
completed, with at least ONE of these being a XC race (if you are in one of these categories and a top
3 prize winner you are eligible for BOTH awards). Participation in a lot of these events (up until the
end of 2023) will count towards the club together awards – come and join in the fun!

Further to feedback from last year, there will be separate league tables for U20s as they run
different races at certain events. U20s will follow the same rules as above.

A number of these events (West District level and above XC) require a valid SA number. If
you are not already a member you can join here – it is £22 for the year which entitles you to
enter SA events and offers a £2 discount on all SA licenced races.

Club vests must be worn for XC events and all road relays – if you need one then see Suzanne Sharp at
the club.
