The Club Championships handicap races are usually held every last Tuesday of the month, starting in April during the British Summer Time, at 7:30pm from the Mid-Suffolk Leisure Centre.  This means that there are 6 handicap races a year.  The course is an 2 lap urban 5k route, starting and finishing at the Leisure Centre.

The format of the race is not the conventional start together and finish staggered.  Instead the start is staggered with the slower runners starting earlier and faster runners later so that all runners should finish about the same time.  If all goes well, there are usually a few challenging races to the line.

The winner of the Club Championships will be based upon their handicap race performance.

Prizes will be awarded for for:-

• 1st, 2nd, & 3rd Men
• 1st, 2nd & 3rd Ladies
• 1st Male V40, V45, V50, V55, V60+
• 1st Female V35, V40, V45, V50+

The handicap race is being kindly run by Chris Starmer with Chris Chaplin's assistance.  A few helpers are always welcome to marshal the course for safety and security reasons.
