Tables

Key rules for 2006/2007

• Composition of teams to be 7 men and 3 women (to include one F35, one M40, one M50) No problem there!
• Individual Championship in F35, F45, F55 categories and M40, M50, M60 categories
• Elite standard to remain at 34min/38min 10k pace (or equivalent) for men/women but to be consistently policed by club captains
• In the individual championships, all runners (excluding non-eligible runners and guests) are given a percentage rating for each completed race. This rating is based on their finishing position compared with the total number of finishers. For example if there are 200 male finishers in the race, the winner gets 100%, 50th man gets 75%, 100th male finisher gets 50% and so on. A similar rating calculation applies to the women's race. Runners take their best 5 ratings over the season to calculate their final position, both overall and within each age category. The most improved runners are those who have improved their rating by the greatest amount since last season.

Guest Entrants

The league is contested by members of the affiliated clubs who meet the qualification requirements contained in the Rules and Regulations.  Runners from other clubs and those affiliated who do not meet the qualification requirements are welcome to take part as guests – subject to the following conditions :-

1. Guest runners must register in advance with the League coordinator or one of the team managers giving their full name and pay the guest entry fee of £2.

2. They must wear a distinctive marker on their vest.

3. They shall comply with UKA rules and the rules of the League – completing the full course as set out and as directed by marshals and officials. At no point should their participation in the race impede or hinder the progress of others.

4. At the end of the race, they shall cross the finish line and be recorded in through the finish funnel in the same manner as offical competitors.

5. On receiving their finishing ticket, they shall advise the team manager with whom they registered of their finishing position.

6. Unaffiliated guest runners will normally be permitted to make a maximum of two appearances in a season.  They will then be encouraged to take out First or Second claim membership with one of the affiliated clubs.
