2025 Road Fixtures
Races take place between March and November, and Tom has put together more opportunities than ever for participation in 2025. There are a variety of distances and locations, ranging from 5k park runs through to a runner’s own choice of 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!

Rules
Each Harrier’s best 5 results will count towards the club championship.
Counting as two of the races is the option for each Harrier to include one marathon event and one half marathon of their choice. The points awarded to competitors will be based upon their best performance (if a competitor should decide to compete in more than one marathon) at the end of the club championship season.
The rules determining the outcome in the event of a tie between competitors are as follows:
1) In the event of a tie between two or more Harriers, the winner will be determined by the points totals earned in direct competition between the athletes concerned.
2) If a race included in the club road race championships is cancelled, the road race secretary may choose to find a suitable replacement race if practical.
Awards
Prizes will be awarded for the following:
- Champion + Runner-up Man (under 40)
- Champion + Runner-up Woman (under 35)
- Veteran + Runner-up Man (40 and over)
- Veteran + Runner-up Woman (35 and over)

To be entered runners also need to volunteer/support the club in some way during the course of the year and not already be eligible for a good-for-age entry place into the marathon.
