 CONTINUED FOR 2010!

 This year we will be continuing the Club Championship based on Target Times and we will be running a Club Championship based on First Past the Post system.  Two championships for the price of one!

The aim of the Club Championship based on Target Times is to give each member an equal opportunity to win the championship by rewarding consistent good performance throughout the year.

Every club member will be given a “Target” time for each of the club championship races.  After each race the difference in race time against target time will be calculated (Target Time – Race Time). Championship points will be awarded on the calculated time and the best time gaining the most championship points.  Target Times will be published on The Hastings Runners Web site and posted on the notice board at Horntye or are available from Paul Sargent.

Remember, the aim of this championship is to give every member an equal opportunity to win the championship. If you consider that the target time is unfair i.e. too fast OR too slow you may appeal against the Target time. An appeal may be made at any time.  The appeal must be in writing and include the distance and time appealed against, a proposed Target time and any evidence, (race results etc) to support the appeal. 

There are 22 races, plus an optional marathon of your choice, that can gain points towards each club championship.  Only the best 8 results will count. During the year points must be gained in 2 Club events. Points are only awarded if Club Kit is worn. Entry on the day to club events will gain points.   The Championship event details are attached. 

Send appeals to: Paul Sargent., Paulsargent3@btinternet.com.
