How the Club Champs competition works:
You score points by finishing as high up the standings as you can in the races which make up our Club Champs calendar (see below).
The first Ram home in each race will earn 1 point, the second will earn 2 ponts, third will earn 3 points etc.
The male and female with the fewest points from their best 8 races at the end of the year will win the club champs!
We also run an age-graded competition where your performance in each race is ranked by an age-grade percentage and then points awarded accordingly.
Take part in South Manchester parkrun at the beginning and end of the year and be in with a chance of being our most improved runner. All we ask is that to keep the competition fair you give it your best effort in January before having another go in December. The male and female with the biggest percentage improvement win the Most Improved Award.
Everyone who takes part in 8 races in the year will earn a special Club Championship memento.
The male and female who complete the most races in our 2025 calendar will claim the coveted Club Competitor trophy!
