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
Half Marathon and Marathon performances – in order to do this you will need to submit your best
times between 1/4/24 and 6/10/23 for HM and between 1/4/24 and 1/11/24 for the marathon – 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 points available at National level events as we want to see the
club represented at the highest level! See the full list here – winter 24.25

The rules are as follows:
Best 8 scores from the 13 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 (Cyclists v Harriers
will be classed as XC for the purposes of this rule).

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.
