Club Info
Club Races and Handicap Races
The club holds several races during the year which are just for our own members. Some of these
are “Staggered Handicap” races and others are straight races with what is called a “Sealed
Handicap”.
What is a Handicap Race?
A handicap race gives even the slowest members of the club a chance to beat faster runners -
and even to win a race. The handicap is based on recent race times and, in theory, gives
everyone an equal chance.

series of 6 Cross Country races at venues around East Yorkshire. Entry costs £16 for the season.
Entering Races
When you enter a race you are issued with a Race Number by the Race Organiser. But, the Race
Number is not your entry - it is just a way of identifying one runner from another.
If you enter a race and later find you cannot do it - please do not hand your number to
somebody else.
You are not giving them your entry - you are simply giving them your means of identity.
This is against UK Athletic Rules and is also a safety issue.
Some races do allow entries to be transferred - but it has to be done officially by contacting the
Race Organiser.
