League Rules
PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND TO AVOID CONFUSION LATER IN THE YEAR.
Complete 8 races during the race calendar year, BUT you have to complete minimum of 3 races in each half, SO you can do more races and disregard your lower scores.
If you exceed 4 qualifying races in either or both half-years, you will still benefit by being able to “discard” your weaker scores from that half where excess races have been completed.
Points will run from 50 for first Witney Roadrunner (M and F), 49 for second and so on down to 1 point minimum (multiple runners will get one point if more than 50 Witney Roadrunners score).
Race calendar: first half runs from 9th January and second half from 5th June.
Complete six races to be eligible for prizes, if no-one else has completed eight races in your age category. All league races will adhere to the rules of the EA association
All league races will fall under the auspices of England Athletics and their rules of competition
Running a race while registered under a different runner’s name will score NO points. Most race organisers will change the name if you notify them in advance.
It is your responsibility to send your own results in to results@witneyroadrunners.co.uk otherwise you will not receive any points. Please do this within a week of your race.
Memento to all league finishers who complete eight races, not decided what yet. Only paid-up, WRR first claim members are eligible to score points.
You have to be EA registered. You must wear the NEW Witney RR club vest/ t-shirt, NOT training tops.
Overall male and female winners will also win their age categories.
Times and positions from official race results will always be used.
Where applicable this will be chip times rather than gun times.
The Championship co-ordinator may substitute races in the event of cancellations, date changes, date clashes etc It is the runners’ responsibility to check dates & enter races in good time. No concessions will be made if entry limits prevent anyone running.
IF THERE IS AN OVERALL OR AGE GROUP TIE, IT WILL BE SHARED.
Any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact Andy on, leagues@witneyroadrunners.co.uk
The league race team, pick the qualifying races, based on supporting local clubs, price, distance from Witney, and what WRR have recommended.
