Drum roll please...
I am pleased to announce the Club Championship Races for 2023. Whilst we can never please everyone with the choices, we hope you can all at least agree that we have picked a good selection of races across the various categories.
The race calendar is already getting full for next year, particularly in January and February. Entries are already open for some races so please ensure you don't leave it too late!
Just because a race has been selected for the Club Champs doesn't mean you have to do every single one. There are a couple of instances where some races are on consecutive days or even on the same day, so please be sensible with your choices.

Mystery Race(s)Following the success of this years mystery race trip to Hullavington, it has been agreed that whatever destination is chosen this year then the offered race(s) will form part of the 2023 Club Championships. To maintain the mystery, the race(s) could be under any of the categories! Note that a road half marathon is already included in the 'best half marathon' option in the Long Course Ranking List.
