Road Racing League

Welcome to the Road Race Club Championship. Each year we select a number of local road races for our club competition. The objective is to get people trying new races, enjoying them and competing alongside fellow Harriers!

Try one, or tackle them all, but to qualify for the competition each year, runners need to complete 5 or more races from the list below. 

2026 Road Fixtures

Races take place between March and November, and Georgina has put together more opportunities than ever for participation in 2026. There are a variety of distances and locations, ranging from 5k park runs through to a half marathon. As always, to enter the competition, runners need to complete 5 or more races, but don’t let that put you off taking on one or two to run alongside – or just in front of – your fellow club members!

    • Events that are starred ⭐ are ‘core events’ – these will include parkrun, virtual races, 5km, 10km and half marathon events.
    • Bonus points can be scored for PB’s achieved in core events.
    • Non-starred events are ‘choice events’.
    • Your best 3 core ⭐ events and best 2 choice events will be used to determine the results for the road league.
