The Fun 500!

This new(ish), Annual Totals award which was introduced in 2021 is not event based. You may claim this as soon as you hit 500 running miles for the year, no matter how you got there, all runs count.

Obviously, this is largely based on trust so please be honest! Please keep track of where all your runs are stored as we will want to check it. Remember that you can claim this award as well as a Rocket Award and your chosen Club Performance Standard Award  . So - if its maybe only June and you have already done 500 miles perhaps you could hit 1000 or claim a full house by the end of the year?

Distance Challenges - 2022

Category: Awards

Distance Challenges

These work in a similar way to the Performance Level Standard Awards (except for the annual totals) but have different qualifying requirements AND you are able to submit  physical or virtual races, so long as the results are published, so that we can verify your results, where applicable. Distance Challenges are not WAVA based so all that is required is that the organisers publish the results so that we can verify a finish in each of your events.
N.b. Event details are required for the Full House and the Ultra-Level awards - Strava activities are not acceptable.
For the Annual Totals awards your Strava profile URL IS acceptable, event details are not required. You may claim just one of the awards described in this article for the year.

Club Performance Standards for 2022

WAVA Performance Awards Scheme requirements 

We are hoping the Covid-19 Pandemic is not going to affect the Race Calendar too badly this year, although there may be some cancellations. Rather than dwelling on 'lockdown' we want to send a more positive message and encourage people to get out there and have a target for the year.  We are renaming the traditional 'Club Standards' as 'Performance Standards' or levels and reverting back to 'Gold', 'Silver' 'Bronze' etc as in pre-Covid times. These awards will work in the familiar way with slightly different qualifying requirements for the 'basket' of events and different WAVA scores determining the Award you can claim.

We will be retaining the facility to submit virtual races, so long as the results are published so that we can verify your results, most race events should be admissible, if if events need to go virtual again to comply with Government or EA restrictions.

N.B. The Full House is now part of the 'Distance Challenges' - see the Distance Challenges - 2022
