We have a wide range of club competitions, find out about each one below.
Mike Cloke Memorial Handicap
The aim of the Thursday Night Handicap is to give each runner the opportunity to test their current training levels against the clock over a set distance. Each runner is given a handicap time and sets off at intervals according to this time from 19:00hrs. Following the handicap all runners will be able to reflect on their performance to assess their future training needs, which can be discussed with any of our qualified coaches.
Notes:
Division 3 was removed from the 2006-2007 season onwards.
Prior to the 2001-2002 season the Handicap winner was declared the one with the most points regardless of which division they ran in.

Achievement Awards
Conceived by Spin, a former Club Chairman, the awards aim to reward runners for their racing achievements. Target Times have been set for various distances for four levels of achievement – designated Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum – for all age groups. The achievements are analysed the the Powerof10 website at teh beginning of each month, as it isn’t possible to scan every list of race results and match runners times with an achievement award. If you an achievement has not been recognised then please claim your award by submitting your official race time via the contact us page.
You will be awarded a certificate via email with the option to have a printed version if you desire.
Note: Achievements are awarded for affiliated races only, typically this will be with England Athletics though other organisations do exist.
