Our League
More Details:
The purpose of the NRC League is to promote racing by providing a focus for members’ race calendars, a competitive interest, the opportunity to try different races, and an opportunity to socialise with fellow members and members of other clubs. The NRC League is open to all paid-up members of Nailsea Running Club.
The committee will choose twelve races. These will be a mixture of road, off-road and multi-terrain races and between 3 and 13.1 miles in distance. Ideas for local races are welcome. The committee select the league races based on the following criteria:
- Not likely to sell out quickly
- Potentially ‘do-able’ for the majority of members
- Varied events, up to half-marathon distance
- Aim to support local clubs
- If we did it this year, choose another for next year (in general)
- Entry fees mainly <£30
- Within c50 mile radius / 1 hour’s drive but mainly within the local area
Members score points according to their finishing position in their age/sex category. The aim is to score the most points within one’s age/sex category. Each competitor can play one Joker in the year. When you play your Joker in a race, your points are doubled. At the end of the year, the best eight race results are totalled for each competitor. The maximum score is 90 points; this consists of 7 x 10 points plus 1 x 20 points scored by playing the Joker.
The NRC League runs from 1 January to 31 December each year.
