Junior Handicaps
There is currently no handicap, but we are hopefully to start one again soon. Any updates will be made here, on Facebook and at junior sessions on a Monday.
Procedure
Handicaps generally consist of a series of 3-4km races. All athletes set off at different times, according to ability, with everyone (in theory) finishing together. The challenge is to run faster each time, and pass more people, in an attempt to become the first home. Points are awarded based on your finishing position, meaning anyone has a chance of winning the series.
The Route:
Races are generally run off site, and require a number of marshals. Anyone wishing to help are welcome to join us. We try to ensure there is always at least one marshal in sight for reasons of safety and to offer moral support. If you are interested, please speak to one of the coaches.
