CLUB HANDICAP
CLUB HANDICAP
Think you can’t win a club race against our fastest speedsters? Think again! Our 2-Mile Handicap Road Race is the ultimate level playing field. It is an exciting, internal club fixture where tactics, pacing, and sheer determination matter far more than your absolute top speed.
How the Handicap Works
Staggered Starts: Runners are assigned a custom handicap time based on their recent performance data. The clock counts down, and you set off when it hits your specific time.
The Ultimate Goal: In theory, if everyone runs exactly to their current capability, the entire club should cross the finish line at the exact same second! The winner is simply the runner who beats their personal benchmark by the largest margin.
Why You’ll Love It
Track Your Progress: It is the perfect, low-pressure monthly benchmark to watch your fitness climb and smash your 2-mile personal bests.
Thrilling Finishes: There is nothing quite like the excitement of the final stretch as the whole pack converges on the finish line at once!
Chippy Night Social: Win or lose, we celebrate together. The handicap race is traditionally followed by our legendary club "Chippy Night" social.
