An open competition for all members interested in road racing, especially for new members to build race confidence and their ties with fellow club members.
For 2026 we have selected races that are local, accessible and affordable. We’ve also included some flat 5k and 10k races, where members can aim for personal bests (PBs)
The top male and top female will win a trophy, retained for 12 months, with additional awards for age categories male and female at Senior, V35, V40, V45, V50, V55, V60, V65 and V70.
Best 3 (three) races from 9 (nine) to include a minimum of:
one 5k, one 10k, plus one at any distance. LV65 and MV70, any two races to count.
It is not necessary to complete either of the two selected half-marathon races, but points will still be awarded.
First Clayton Male/Female in each race to be awarded 50 points; second, 49 points; third, 48 points; fourth, 47 points, etc.
In the event of a tie (more than one runner on the same points after the best three qualifying races, then the championship will be decided on head-to-head record. If still a tie or no head-to-head race took place between the two tied competitors, then the competition is jointly won.
Note: If you leave the club before the presentation evening, you will forfeit any awards you have won.
The Ladies’ Champion holds the Lady Road Champion Cup, and the Men’s Champion holds the Men’s Road Champion Cup. Awards for 2nd and 3rd positions are also made to Ladies and Men.
Here are the results of the Club Road Championships
