Club League 2023

Arrows Club League 2023

Welcome to the Arrows Club League. 

We've decided to re-introduce our internal Club League in 2023 in a slimmed down and simplified format. It is provided to give members a fun and interesting way of participating together and competing with each other in a friendly way.

Members are encouraged to participate in League events for fun and to achieve their own running goals, but also to encourage and support their fellow Arrows.

Its a simple format this year with Arrows able to earn club league points for racing our external league events (XC and MWRRL) plus ONE nominated other race from each distance from 5k to Half Marathon. We've picked (mainly) the closest suitable event to try to encourage a large number of Arrows to attend our nominated races.

This year, 2023, there will be just one League (rather than Road and Trail) with men and ladies each competing for thier right to hold the shields for a year.

 The races:

XC League Races x6

XC 4 (2022/3) - 19th Feb 2023 (Watford)

The rules will not normally be subject to change during year and additional races will not normally be added in during the year. Appeals or queries regarding your points should initially be raised with the League Manager via this email address.  This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. 

The League Manager will be asked to recommend to the committee what actions to take in the event of extraordinary, unplanned circumstances. The committee ruling will be final.

NOTE: We will only accept your time if you have run under your own name and you cannot substitute alternative races if you miss one on the list.

We wish everyone a good year of running and hope that you enjoyed the League. 

And that's a wrap!

Congratulations again to Brian Yates and Jo Davies as winners of the club league. Mark Pattison sneaked into second after the last race of the season. Aisling was second lady, with Andrew Bracey and Issy taking third places. Well done to everyone who took part in (or volunteered at) any races this year.
Commiserations Jo for ending the year on the number of the beast - or did you have some demonic assistance along the way??
