Handicap Day - A unique format of racing. Athletes are allocated a starting time beginning with 0:00 seconds and increasing depending on their times from the season so far.
Leaders will have to chase, and chasers get the opportunity to lead. Hopefully....it means everyone finishes close together!!
Who can run?:
Athletes who have attended 5 or more rounds will be allocated at start time and are eligible for medals in their official age group distance.
Athletes with less than 5 attendance can still run, we will estimate a time for them, but won't be eligible for medals.
Actual running time will be captured to see if the effort is a PB time (calculated after the morning is done)
Medals: First 3 finishers in each race distance will be presented with medals. Girls and Boys awarded separately. Medals will be presented to the winning athletes on the day.
How?:
Turn up closer to 8.45am to collect your athletes starting times (written on their hand).
Extra helpers will be needed to help organise athletes in order and monitor starting order.
Marshals will be vital as runners not used to leading may not be as familiar without someone to follow. Plus runners spread out more.
Race starts at: 0:00, runners depart in order when the clock matches the time on their hand.
It's lots of fun!!
