Championship Rules 2025

Events

Events are chosen to cover the range of distances and disciplines (road, fell and trail).

Adjustment Factors

  • Age grading is a way to adjust an athlete’s performance according to age and gender. The tables work by recording the world record performance for each age at each distance, for men and women. Where necessary, the world record performances are estimated.
  • For example, the world record for a 53 year old woman running a 10km is 35:01.  So if a 53 year old woman finishes a 10km in 45:18, she has an age-graded performance of 77.3% (which is 35:01 divided by 45:18).
  • Whilst the age grading tables allow men and women of differing ages to compete on a level playing field, they do not make any allowances for natural ability and/or the amount of training an athlete undertakes.

Adjusted Time

The runner’s actual time is multiplied by the adjustment factor to give the adjusted time.

Points

How points are obtained is very simple.  50 points are awarded to the Quaker with the fastest adjusted time, 49 to the next etc.  Championship points updates will be regularly updated on the website.

 

Groups

For the 2025 Championship, there will be a wide range of events spread over 3 groups. The groups are organised by distance to encourage runners to try a range of distances and disciplines. Overall a maximum of 10 races could count.

  • Group 1 is distances up to 5 miles.
  • Group 2 is over 5 miles and under 10 miles.
  • Group 3 is distances from 10 miles upwards.

As mentioned above, points from a maximum of 10 races will count as the runners total. The only stipulation will be that the maximum 10 races to count will include a minimum of two races from each group. Therefore if you do 10 races or more from the selection of championship races, then the highest two scores from each group will count plus the next 4 highest scores.

Club colours, which can be either a vest or t-shirt, should be worn.

Finally, only races completed after members have joined the club or renewed their membership will count towards the Club Championship.
