Updates:-

Update 9/12/19 Due to cancellation of adult races at Cross Country Race 4 – Rodbaston – the reserve races Christmas Harriers Handicap will be used.

Update 22/9/19 The Challenge Park run has been confirmed as 9th November at Marquis Drive.

Update 8/9/19 Corrected the date of the Sept. Handicap

Update 7/8/19 NSCCL dates confirmed

Update 7/5/19 JCB confirmed 11th July

Updated 2/5/19 The date for the 5K  Time Trial has been set to the 22nd May. This meets at the car park on Castlefields at 6pm for a 6:15pm start. The route is simple 2.5K down the disused railway and back.

Nottingham (Robin Hood) Marathon has been cancelled for 2019, therefore, we have to replace Nottingham Marathon with Chester Marathon on the 6th October.

The Harriers challenge is open to all members of Stafford Harriers, it’s a bit of fun and adds a little interest to your race diary & maybe introduces you to some races that you may not normally try or of even heard of.

 

Here is this year’s Challenge and there are 24 races to choose from.

Ten Road Races, Ten Off-Road Races and three Cross Countries plus a time trial.

Check actual dates nearer the times as race organisers have been known to change dates.

If you find out confirmed dates that are different to the below, then please let us know.

Scoring

Scoring is as follows, the first runner gets the same number of points that there are runners in the group at the start of the Challenge. (eg If there are 12 runners then 12 pts.) Second place gets one less (11 pts) and so on. In the event of a tie, then the runner with the least number of races wins. If still tied then a countback on head to head results will be done. (If it’s still a tie then we give up!)

Challenge members need to complete at least 6 races, (half the qualifying 12 to count) to qualify for an award (New Rule 2019).

Club Kit

In fairness to all runners we ask that you wear club colours in all challenge races (without exception) so your group members can spot you. Failure to do so will mean that you don’t get any points in that particular race (New Rule 2019).

Double point JOKER;

Each competitor can select “One” race to play their JOKER and receive double points.

You are free to select one race from the 24 races at any time during the year. The only rule is that you must notify the JOKER referee in writing (either by email or text) at least 1 week before the actual event (Ian Hodkinson, on 07703687906 or hodkinsonig@btinternet.com).

Any disputes will be addressed by the challenge committee and their decision will be final.

Charity donation Entry Fee;

There is a charge of £5 to enter, all entries will go direct to the clubs’ charity fund. This is still a bit of fun with a chance of a trophy at the end of the year. In 2018 we donated £250 to Stafford’s House of Bread at Christmas time.
