The EVRC Race League is a way for club members to compete against each other throughout the year, even if they are not running in the same race.
Points are awarded according to position and added-up through the year. All times are age-adjusted. Members can play one ‘joker’ a year – notify a committee member at least 24 hours in advance of the race and your points will be doubled.
The winners are announced at the club’s annual Christmas party.

Extra information
All dates are provisional and subject to change at this point but will be confirmed as soon as the various event organisers confirm dates and open entries.
In 2024 the committee agreed to make some changes to the rules in an attempt to make the leagues more competitive:
- Results will no longer be adjusted according to age adjustment factors. Instead we are implementing a handicap system similar to that used in golf. The faster you get the lower your handicap will become. The higher your handicap the bigger assist you receive to your race times
- The number of qualifying events you need to do is being reduced slightly so for Long league instead of your best 8 results from 12 events, it will be your best 7 from 12 and Short league will be best 6 from 10.
- The short league will no longer be entirely parkrun’s and now includes a couple of races.
We look forward to racing with you in 2025.
