Summer Championship Series
Summer Champs is a fun, inclusive club competition open to all members who join before 1st May. The goal is to complete eight runs across at least three different categories. You can choose from parkrun, road, trail, fell, relay, track and marathon. Your best eight results will count towards your total. While it’s a competition, the real focus is on team spirit, supporting each other, and enjoying the shared experience. Everyone who meets the challenge will earn a prize at the Christmas Party, with additional mini-leagues and overall awards up for grabs. For any questions, feel free to contact Dan O’Brien.
