Club Championships 2019
The Barrow Runners Club Championship is a competition open to all members, which will include a range of popular events, varying each year, with a mix of on and off-road. The results of these will ultimately decide our annual awards, held in November.
We continue to support and compete in the LRRL (Leicestershire Road Running League) series and will continue to do so. However, the internal club championship has been our primary focus since 2017 to allow:
- accessibility to races and avoid the disappointment of missing deadlines due to sell-outs etc
- the award of 100% awards
- the support events of that are popular with members so our participation at these events is as high as possible.
- Introduction of new challenges and fresh focus.
- us to offer variety by changing the championship races each year and including a range of distances from 5k to half marathon.
- the provision of clear guidelines on how you can win awards, including age categories.

Championship overview
- There are 12 races selected and listed below (spread across the year March to October)
- To complete the championship, runners must run any 5 of the 12 races, where the best 5 will count.
- Scoring is based on the chip time of Barrow runners from race results, i.e. fastest Barrow male and female finisher awarded 100 points, 2nd fastest finisher 99 points and so on...Chip time was selected as the fairest system for capturing position, so as not to give a head start to those standing closer to the start line.
- The tables are split male/female then by age categories (with ten year gaps V40-V80).
- Table updates and publishing will be quick, as soon as results are available.
The 2019 events and dates are as follows, in selecting these races we have tried to maintain a balance throughout the year of local races that have capacity to take additional runners.
