Bearbrook Joggers Road Race League Rules

Rule 1

The road league championship will be based upon any race of standard distance, 5 km up to 20 miles accurately measured and certified and any one marathon may be counted towards the championship. Points will be allocated for each race with the best six races being taken as the final points tally.
The league secretary will be the final arbitrator on the eligibility of a race for inclusion in the championship.

Rule 2

Points will be based upon age-graded performance, which is a percentage value of the UK best ever performance for a competitors age group and gender.

Rule 3

In addition to the age-graded competition there will also be a handicap competition in which competitors will be given a handicap based upon their best times for a 10 k during the previous year. The points from each age-graded performance will be increased by the handicap percentage.

Rule 4

5 bonus points will be awarded for personal best performances in eligible championship races. A personal best is recorded for a competitor's best time in their current age category (see below). NB the first race at a distance in any age category will not be eligible as a personal best as it will be considered as a bench mark, unless it betters the best time at that distance in a previous and most recent age category.

Cross Country Championship Rules

The Cross Country championship will be based upon a series of selected races (see below) for which points will be allocated. In addition to the selected races points, additional points will be allocated for each competitor's best Chiltern League race. The best four results will count towards the championship. Points will be based upon Age Graded Performance, which is a percentage value of the UK best performance for a competitor's age group and gender. The age-graded scores will be increased by a predetermined "level of difficulty percentage" that is based on the degree of difficulty of each racecourse.
