Club Races for 2011/12

Each year we organise a Club Championship, a Handicap Championship and a Fell Championship.  We have trophies for both female and male winners of these Championships. This year, there have been a few changes to the way the Club Championships will work.  The Fell Championship has now been separated from the main Club Championship and they will be decided as follows: In the Club Championship your best 10 races out of the 16 chosen road and trail races count towards your points total. In the Fell Championship your best 5 races from the chosen 9 fell races count.  In the Handicap Championship the same races count in both the main Club Championship and Fell Championship, but runners receive extra points (based on their given handicap at the start of the season).  The current Club Championship started at the Norton 9 on the 6th March 2011. Current Standings in Club Championship as at 9th October 2012 The full list of counting fixtures for the Club Championship are:
