This year the championship incorporates 10 road races from May to August, with distances ranging from 5 miles to 10 km.  To qualify you need to complete 5 races and if you run in more, then your best 5 will count.  Each entrant will be allocated a projected time for each event and will score points or have points deducted for each second above or below their projected time, up to a maximum of + or -75.  We will be continuing with the ‘joker’ (I am sure all you middle aged runners remember the heady days of Eddie Wareing and Stuart Hall on ‘It’s a knockout’). The joker enables you to select a race in advance at which you will score double points. To play your joker race you will need to let the handicapper know at any time prior to the start of the race you have chosen.

You will be responsible for entering each individual race but entry to the summer championship is completely free.  All you need to do is send the following details to the organizer at mmexley@yahoo.co.uk by Monday 5^th May.
