Would you like to compete for a major trophy awarded at the clubs annual presentation in Jan 2011 and have a realistic chance of winning?
The championship recognises the best overall club performer taking into account their performance in a number of races over the year.
The Riverside Runners Championship 2010 will be operating from 1 January and all you have to do to take part is to have entered five races by 30 June 2010 and have the results recorded on the website and then another five races by 31 December 2010 and have those recorded on the website.
You will then be awarded points for each of the ten races taking into account factors such as your age, the amount of miles you covered in the race, the variety of different distances you covered, and how much you have improved on your personal best times.
The way it will work is that shortly after 30 June 2010 you will be asked to nominate the first set of five races you ran in the preceding six months and which you have recorded on the website, and you will be allocated scores for these races.
Then immediately after 31 December 2010, again you will nominate the second set of five races you ran in the preceding six months and again be allocated scores for these races.
The club runner with the most points for all ten races nominated will win the trophy.
All runner abilities are welcomed as the Championship is designed to take into account new starters, improvers and competitive runners.
For details of how the rules operate please click ‘document library’ on the left hand side, but beyond that all you need to do is enter those ten races by the two deadlines and record the results.
Having scanned the field for likely looking venues for the 2010 annual trip, Mark presented a shortlist to the members at the November meeting asking for feedback. Since then he has refined the options to Zagreb, Croatia for the weekend of 8 - 11 Oct 2010. Mark believes that the price is likely to be in the order of £375 but this is obviously dependent upon the number of people that come along. What is needed now is for the firm bookings to come in. The itinerary will be along the lines of :
1. Fly to Croatia early on Fri 8th Oct, travel to and stay in a 3* hotel (B&B) close to the venue. 2. Sightseeing, drink, eat and be merry on Saturday 9th. 3. Small matter of a run (half or full Marathon) on Sunday 10th, Race entry NOT included. 4. Return home with lots of duty free, Monday 11th.
To secure a place(s) you need to pay a £35 non-refundable deposit. It is planned to put an instalment payment system in place for those that would like to take up that option. See Mark for more details and come along to the club meeting on 3 December to learn more.
