The Championships run for a full calendar year and include the following race categories:
- Cross Country
- Road Relays
- Warwickshire Road Race League (WRRL)
The following championship titles are available
Overall Club Championship
WRRL Champion
Cross Country Champion
For the WRRL and Cross County competition the winner is the one who receives the most points throughout the year.
The overall Club Championship is based on both of the above categories plus the road relays. The points are calculated from:
- Cross country events
- Your best performance (highest-scoring) of either the Warwickshire Championships or the Midland Championships
- Your best three out of the four Birmingham league races (held in January, February, November and December
- Road relay events
- Both events count - usually held in March and September at Sutton Park.
- WRRL events
- (Typically) your best six out of eleven races – usually held between April and October
Occasionally events are cancelled and the number of qualifying events described above may change. If this is the case the Committee will decide what changes are required and advise accordingly.
Scoring System
Apart from the relays, points are awarded based on the finishing position of the Centurions taking part in the event (Neither the overall race positions or finishing times are taken into account). For the relays, points are awarded based on the leg times of each Centurion. Where an event includes legs of varying lengths, times are adjusted accordingly (and fairly!) to provide a combined list of finishing times.
The first Centurion finisher receives 50 points, the second 49, the third 48 and so on.
Volunteer Points
If the Club provides a volunteer for an race, whether it is a requirement of the event organiser or for other reasons eg VI guide, the club member volunteering will receive points based on the average of their points over the course of the year for the category concerned
After each qualifying event, the Championship Tables are updated and posted in the Championship WhatsApp Group and emailed to members.
