Club Challenge

get involved!

The Club Challenge 2025 is for all of our members and is a competition based on who has the most improved times across 8 local races.

It's a perfect opportunity to support the local races and encourages us all to improve our times and strive for our running goals.

How it works

Each person is allocated a predicted race time for the event.

The further you are under your predicted time the more points you score. 

We predict the race times using your submitted times for the distance and then considerations for the course - like difficulty etc.

We have an excel calculator in place that does all the clever maths which anyone is very welcome to review.

Rules of the competition 

You are actively encouraged to run in your club kit.

There is no limit to the number you can complete, but you must complete at least 8.

Times will be taken from race results and chip times where they are offered. In the event of a chip failure or results failure, runners will be asked to submit a watch time by screenshot of their time.

Submission will be via the website - no submission, no record

You can submit a wildcard race to be included as 1 of the 8. If you want to do this, please inform Georgina King via email or messenger the week before the race. Once a wildcard is submitted, no changes are permitted

You do not have to submit a wildcard race to complete.

Please note that the Queens Head 5k has been removed for this year due to the race not going ahead due to illness. We hope this can be included again in future.
