Road & Multi-terrain Championship Rules
The rules are straightforward:
- To qualify you need to record a result in at least one race at each distance
- If you run more than one race at the same distance, only your best result counts towards your Championship score
- You’re competing against members in your own age-gender category, as stated above:
- Your Championship age category is determined by your age on 1 January
- Within each age-gender category, the fastest club finisher scores 50 points, the next fastest 49 points, and so on
- There’s one additional category that groups all members together and awards points based on age grade
- For your race result to qualify for the Championship you must run in Club colours and have registered your entry as affiliated to Reading Roadrunners
- Times will be based on individual chip times rather than gun times, where provided
Marathon Championship Rules
The Marathon Championship rules are also very straightforward:
- You can choose to run any marathon event anywhere in the world

- You’re competing against members in your own gender-age category, as stated above
- Your championship age category is determined by your age on 1 January
- The winner of each age-gender category will be the member recording the fastest finishing time for a marathon during the season
- The results claimed by the winners in each category will be verified and the winners announced following the end of the season
