For 2018 Racing795 are introducing a new format to the Club Championship.
We’re going to try something slightly different with the aim being inclusion/participation of all members. Every member at the start of 2018 will have a chance of winning the much coveted Martin Mimnagh trophy. If you’re somebody who doesn’t swim or maybe you don’t run no problem there are 15 events in total with the best 8 scoring. Fitness levels are irrelevant.
All scoring will be from club events. So we will hold 15 club events through the year for members, starting in January and finishing up in November.
Here’s the list:
January 28th Sunday Duathlon 3km/20km/3km
February 25th Sunday Duathlon 3km/20km/3km
March 25th Sunday Duathlon 3km/20km/3km
April 11th Wednesday Road Bike Race 25km
April TBC Mtb Race
May 9th Wednesday Road Bike Race 25km
May TBC Mtb Race
June 6th Wednesday Road Bike Race 25km
June TBC Mtb Race
June 12th Tuesday River Swim 750m
June 26th Tuesday River Swim 1km
July 10th Tuesday River Swim 1,500m
September 3rd Monday Eve X country Run 6km
October 7th Sunday Trail Run 8km
November 4th or 18th(dependent on marathon numbers) Sunday Hill Run 10km
Hopefully these improvements will see the cup within reach of a lot more members and therefore create some excitement during the year. Above is the full list for ’18, so you can plan your races around the club events. We’re hoping that members will buy into this and all events will be well attended by members.
We will have a minimum marshal plan (replaced by signage!) with emphasis on participation so make sure to check the routes before! As you will see we have an 8 week break during the summer to allow for holidays
So lets get out and participate together as a club!
