You will compete in a mixed group of approximately 10 athletes of similar ability based on recent 5k performances(as of 31/03/23). Groups based broadly on 15 to 18 mins, 18 – 19 mins etc but cover a larger range as times move out as there are less athletes of comparable ability.

Races for the club group competitions (trying to keep it local as possible, where entry is not too limited and based on the dates I have) best 12 to count. If points are level on completion of all races then individual positions will be based on head to head basis.

Points as last year but with bonus points for participating in club team events or volunteering at club races and athletics meetings.

12 points for 1st placed AC athlete in a race, 11 points for 2nd placed etc.
5 bonus points for participation in official club team events (xc, road relays etc)
4 bonus points for volunteering / officiating at club races or athletics meetings.
