2020 club raCEs & changes to runner of the year award

Every year the committee picks our club races for the year. These form part of our Club Male/Female runner of the year awards which will run from 01 October 2019 through to and including 30 November 2020.

Our Club races will be the ones where the club will monitor the results and record these for the Runner of the Year results. Other results can be included in the running (pardon the pun) for the award however you need to submit these via a special link below so that we are aware of the result and include a link to your result and photo if required. With the numbers of events these days its becoming harder for us to keep track of them all.

SCORING INSTRUCTIONS

A) An age group based points system for all nominated club events:

• 10 points = 1-3 place finish
• 8 points = 4-10 place finish
• 6 points = 11-20 place finish
• 4 points = 21-50 place finish
• 2 points = 51-100 place finish
• 1 point = 101+ place finish

​Double points awarded for nominated events below

B) A bonus point system for finishing any long distance event. Any official running event worldwide on road, trail or track counts (no multi-sport events such as triathlon or orienteering) if completed 01 Dec and 30 Nov each year

• 5 points = 14-29 km distances (half)
• 10 points = 30-43 km distances (full)
• 15 points = 44-100 km distances (ultra)
• 20 points = 101+ km distances (extreme)

Any event where you wear club kit (Fortius Running Club Singlet or T-Shirt) or volunteer as a pacer will attract a single bonus point. You must race as yourself to earn points, if you race as someone else or someone else races as you, points WILL NOT be awarded.

Where the event is a double point event all points collected in the event will be doubled e.g. You ran a half marathon at a double point event in your Fortius Running Club singlet and finished 11th in your age category you would earn as follows.
11th Place = 6 points
Half Marathon = 5 points
Club singlet = 1 point
Total = 12 points x 2 for double point event = 24 points for the event.
