Club Championships

---

In each section there is a starting number of points.  This has been derived to give a representation of the number of competitors.  

Men 50
Women 50
 

The first Pencoed Panther Runner in a championship race will score this number of points, the second runner one less, and so on.

The selected races chosen are local to club and aimed at encouraging participation, by members of the club.

There will also be a specified number of performances to count towards the championship score.  This will also indicate the minimum number of races to be completed to win an award.

If there are 6 performances to count, the 6 highest scores for an athlete will be used to consider them for an award.  

However, the athlete must have at least 5 completed runs for an award to be made. 

If there are 5 highest scores to count you must complete 4 completed runs.

In the event of a tie for any award in any section, there will be no tie-break.  

Both/all athletes will receive the same award.

In all races in any of the championships we expect you to be:

a. Properly entered in the race as a member of Pencoed Panthers.

b. Must Wear Club colours.

 This championship consists of local races up to 5 miles.  

They also tend to be mid-week races during the summer months.  

There are 13 opportunities to score points, however members must complete 1 5-mile run, best mile, best parkrun and 2 of the specified 5k runs.
