Rules
The Portishead Club Championship is now in its third year. This year there are some new races and, as last year, the Championship will be decided on your best performances in a subset of them. The more races you run the better chance of winning, but you don't have to run all races to have a chance! You don't have to enter the Championship as all members of PRC will automatically be included. We will attempt to gather results as soon as they become available, but if you have any queries or corrections, please email the club.
PRC vests/tops must be worn in all events, with the exception of charity vests. Failure to do so will void any points gained in that race. The Club Championship includes races in the following categories:
5 Mile Any 3
10km Any 7
Half Marathon Any 2
Multi Terrain Any 4
Miscellaneous Any 3
Full Marathon or longer Any 1
The results will be updated on the web site as often as possible and prizes given at our annual Christmas Party.
One change we have made this year is that fewer races from a single series are included. Last year, for example, a majority of the popular Tow Path series were included, so if you didn't enter that series you couldn't pick up any points in any of the races. Instead, we have included single events from a greater range of these series, which hopefully will encourage PRC members to broaden their horizons and try some new events.
So that more people get credit in some of the more popular races, the scoring has been extended so that the first runner will now get 10 points, the second 9, down to the 10th runner and below who will get 1 point. Extra points will be awarded as follows (age as of the start of the year):
Men over 40 1 point
Men over 50 2 points
Men over 60 3 points
Ladies over 35 1 point
Ladies over 45 2 points
Ladies over 55 3 points
Any member who helps to marshal instead of racing at any of the Portishead Running Club races will be awarded 5 Championship Points. As before, any full marathon counts as a club race, but we've extended this year to include ultras too. Throughout the year there are nominated 'bonus' races where each runner who completes the race will get an additional 5 points (shown in orange). The races in the championship are shown below. Not all have dates set as yet, so they will be updated as the year goes on.
Good luck!
