The 2008 Championships

Glossopdale Harriers organize two club championships during the year: A main championship and a summer midweek championship.

The championship races for the 2008 season have now been decided. Please follow the links below to see the races for 2008. Thanks to all the club who came up with some really good suggestions this year for the format and the races.

From these suggestions, there is one main new element to the championships we are going to try this year. For the first time we are going to run a handicap based championship along side the main and the midweek series, this gives everyone the chance to win the championship simply by getting better over the year! So how will we calculate it? In a similar way to the winter handicap 10km series organized by Matt, handicaps will be calculated from the best performance in 3 recent races. In a race, your handicap time will then be calculated as a reduced proportion of the winner’s time. The handicap will change throughout the year, always based on the best of your last three races. Thanks go to Gareth for helping to work out the calculations!
