The Awards

The Club 50 and Club 100 awards are not meant to be a competition with anyone else but yourself.  It is to create a source of encouragement throughout for those wishing to participate.

Members will automatically be entered for the Club 50/100 (If you would like to opt out, just let the coordinator know). Once members have reached 50 points they will automatically continue to work towards 100. If they do not reach 100 points they will still achieve the club 50 award.   

Please also be aware that you DO HAVE TO WEAR the club vest/top (Red/White) for this, as with the Club's Grand Prix series where it is also mandatory.

We shall be keeping a record of all races and allocating the relevant points to each individual.

The Coordinator for 2025 is Robert Last.

The Rules

You must be a Club member (points count from your membership start date).

If your age category is changing for the Club 50/100, you must contact the coordinator to advise them of this. Otherwise, your age category will remain that of your first race of the qualifying year. 

Age grading will be as of the 31st December of the qualifying year.

The Club standards are final with no amendments.

Your quickest time counts either chip or gun.

Proof of entry/results page from the organisers is always required.  Races within Norfolk will automatically be logged as long as you register as a Dereham Runner (On Total Race Timing, you can do this even if you are not an affiliated runner. For other races you will need to let the coordinator know).  For events outside of Norfolk, it is your responsibility to alert the coordinator of the event and provide proof of time (screenshot or link to results).

Club vest/top (Red/White) must be worn in order for races to count.  Exceptions to this rule are;

• Muddy cross country runs (club will advise)

• Running for charity

• Competing for Norfolk/Schools Cross Country

• Competing for University

• Ultras (where changes of clothing may be required)

• New Members will be given 4 weeks grace to purchase kit.

If it is proven that the Club vest/top (Red/White) has not been worn for an event, then points will not be awarded.   

Fun runs are excluded.
