KENT GRAND PRIX

Team championship based on scores in all 11 races.  Individual Championships in categories M, M40, M50, M60, F, F35, F45, F55 based on best 6 of 10 races. The full rules are available on the KCAA website.

KENT CHAMPIONSHIPS

Open to all Kent runners who qualify either by birth or by continuous residence for 9 months or more.   Enter on official form.  Entries on the day do not count in the Championships.  Awards presented for first 3 in each category – M, M40, M50, M60, F, F35, F45, F55, Male team and Female team (3 to score).

CLUB CHAMPIONSHIPS

For 2012, we are trialling a new system to determine the club championships award winners. Rather than having five specific races, this will use the same races as the Kent Grand Prix, with the opportunity to pick up points throughout the year.

Here’s a set of rules for how the scoring will work and how the winners will be determined:

1. Everyone who takes part in a race scores 10 points.
2. Extra points are awarded based on position, and number of runners. The first male and female runner home will score at least 20 points, with 19 for the second, 18 for the third etc.
3. Results and positions will be determined by chip times where available, gun times if not.
4. Eligible races are the 10 Kent Grand Prix races.
5. Runners may run as few or as many races as they wish, but only the best 6 scores will count.
6. Trophies will be awarded to the first three in each of the following categories:
   • Senior Men; Male v40; Male v50; Male v60; Male Overall 
   • Senior Ladies; Ladies v35; Ladies v45; Ladies v55; Lady Overall
7. Whichever category a runner is in for their first club champs race of the year they will remain in for the whole year.
8. Runners must be entered as members of Thanet Roadrunners, and wearing a club vest.

Please add the following races to your diary - the more club members we have turning up the better!
