Club Handicap Races
On the last Thursday of every month, the club holds a handicap race which is open to anyone wishing to take part.
The race starts at 6:30pm outside the Ponty Lido and goes round the park in an anticlockwise direction 4 times (approx 3.5 miles).
How It Works
The race features a staggered start in order of slowest to fastest runners. The timings of when each runner begins is confirmed on the evening. The idea is that all runners should finish at roughly the same time.
Winners of this race are those who make the biggest improvements from each race to the next, so there are plenty of opportunities for anyone to win no matter what speed they run.
The prize for winning the race is a large club trophy and a small individual keepsake.
Best 5 out of 12 results count towards the overall standings.
How to Enter
If you would like to take part in the handicap race then just keep an eye out in our Facebook groups where a post will be added near the time of the next race asking for confirmation of who will be attending. This makes it easier for the organiser to work out each participant's starting times before the race start.
