Club Standards

Extra Kudos

Club members can request validation of a club standard using this form once they have recorded the following age-graded percentages in 3 different distances in any given year. Qualifying years will run from 1st November - 31st October to fit in with the Club presentation evening. Note: claims need to be submitted before midnight October 31st to be processed in time.

Red <40%

Yellow 41-45%

Green 45-50%

Purple 50-55%

Blue 55-60%

Black 60-65%

Bronze 65-70%

Silver 70-75%

Gold 75-80%

Platinum Over 80%

For example a club member achieving 3 results across 3 different distances in the 45-50% bracket in the same year would achieve a green club standard. The same runner could move up to the purple club standard once they have achieved 50-55% in 3 qualifying distances.

Qualifying distances* are any 3 of the following:

1 mile (club timed)
5k race or parkrun
10k race
Half marathon
Full marathon

(*) In the event of questions being raised about the distance of any official races, that race may be discounted from the Club Standards for that year.
