Club Handicap Series 2024

This year’s handicap tournament will be held at local parkruns over a 6 month period on the first Saturday of the month, (Jun-Nov inc.). Members will have several opportunities during May to run a prologue, (to set time to beat).

Although originally a handicap tournament, over the years it has evolved more into a time-trial where members try and beat their target times. The runner, (male & female) who beats their target time by the highest percentage wins the race. The winner is awarded one point and second place is awarded 2 points (and so on). The new time becomes their target for the next race. Members best 4 scores are counted, (you can run as many or few as you like), and the male/female with the lowest overall score will be declared as winners.

Prologue dates, (all at Harlow parkrun)

04 May, 11 May, 18 May, 25 May.

Member’s can run as many or few of these dates as they like, and their best time will be used as target time in the first race proper. If member’s can’t make any of these dates then an alternate parkrun event time can be used. Other race distances will be considered in the qualifying period, i.e. 5 miles, or 10k, and an adjustment will be made.
