The Handicap Race is a 5k run which normally takes place on the last Thursday of every month.
How it works
The first time a member completes the run gives them a qualifying time, which is then used as their handicap. The handicap time for each runner is the average of their last three runs (except for new runners).
Runners set off according to their handicap time with the slowest first. This means that all runners have an equal opportunity of finishing first. The winner is the best improver, and they take home the coveted Club 5k Handicap Trophy for the month!
