And now, the time has come and we face the final table...

After another year in which new faces and old legs battled for points across a variety of terrains, the final championship table for the 2011 Club Championship is out! Danny Gordon had the race wrapped up long before the final race - the Jolly Holly jog and many runners looked for final jumps!

Well done to all those who took part in any of the championship races, especially those who completed all 12 of the required runs for maximum points!

Thank you to Anthony Corbett for all his hard work calculating the times and grades! Also thanks to the racing commitee for putting together the races! Here's to 2012!

So where did you finish and where are you in the table?

It appears that the last championship race of the season is closed.  Surprised

Ripon Runners website shows that no more entries are being taken and there are no entries on the day !  Good Luck to those taking part.

The Ravenstonedale Race, which was earlier this year after last year's snow, was an excellent chance to grab points as the racing season winds down. As was Clay Bank West - a popular fell race which has decided previous year's championships.

So where did you finish and where are you in the table?

Whilst the Marathon's were going on all over the country, there was a hilly 10k to be ran for Championship points! Loads of points were up for grabs and it was always going to be a high scoring race!

Then, a couple of weeks later the Quakers were back in action at the Hilly Richmond 10k which certainly lived up to its name!

With far too many Quakers to mention competing for championship points, you'll just have to click on the link to find out how you've done!

PLEASE NOTE - There is a mistake on the listing, Thirsk 10 was due to be on Nov 20th not 27th as stated - but has now been postponed until March !
