ONLY OPEN TO MEMBERS OF NORTH DEVON ROAD RUNNERS
A new series of challenging handicap races to keep those legs of yours in mint condition during the coming
winter months and come the spring you will be ready to race..
The Rules
Each race will start at 7.00 pm (sharp)
(Entries will not be accepted on the night of each race)
Each entrant will run a qualifying race and be given a handicap time based on their time. In the rounds the
runners will start in several consecutive groups with a few minutes between each group. The group will be
made up of runners with similar handicap times. The winner will be the runner who has improved their
handicap in that round the most. There will be a trophy awarded to the winner for each of the six rounds and
also trophies for the top three finishers in the series. The winner will get 100 points towards their overall
score, second 99 and so on downwards. The best 4 scores will count towards overall score, which also
equates to being able to miss two races. NOTE – Qualifying is not one of your four scoring races.
Entrants who are running for the first time and have not qualified will not be awarded a winners trophy for
that round or receive the points. This will mean you must run 5 out of the 6 races to get an overall win.
This is to safeguard against any inaccurate times.
The race committee reserves the right to review the results and adjust where any one is adjudged to have
given an inaccurate time estimate for the course.
No shortcuts are allowed as this will lead to automatic disqualification.
Entry is strictly open to club members only.
In ear audio devices and headphones are not allowed. For Safety & Club Insurance purposes.
You are required to wear reflective clothing.
Entrants will have to accept responsibility for their own safety whilst competing. Remember car drivers
cannot always see a dark figure darting across a road in front of them in the darkness of winter.
