Club Championship 2026
As in previous years, only the top-scoring 6 will count towards your final ranking, there is possibility too of gaining points for volunteering (see below).
To be included, you need to have completed 6 of the races whilst being a ‘paid up’ club member (any level of membership, England Athletics Affiliation is not required, though it usually gives access to discounted entry fees).
As in previous years, we will use the WAVA rating system to award a score for each runner based on their age, gender, and published race time. Rankings will be calculated on the best 6 scores recorded.
PLEASE REMEMBER TO SELECT “DH RUNNERS” IF THERE IS A CLUB OPTION AS THIS MAKES YOU EASIER TO FIND!
The Club Championship races are often very popular, and we are not in control of their numbers, so we recommend signing up as soon as entries open to avoid missing out.
If possible, we would encourage all participants to wear a club shirt whenever they compete as a DH Runner, either in a Club Championship or in any other official race!

For the Joker and Wild Card, to enable fair assessment of the scores:
1. You must submit your request within 2 weeks of the event taking place (after 14 February).
2. The event must be on a measured route, and have published, publicly available, results.
3. You can only submit one Joker and one Wild Card and not change them – so choose wisely!
Thank You
