Club Championship

The RRRC Championship Races for the 2011 to 2012 Grand Prix year
will be:

The Willis River 35K on January 14, 2012

The Carytown 10K on May 6, 2012

The Moonlight 4-Miler on August 9, 2012

The Patrick Henry Half Marathon on August 25, 2012

All RRRC members competing in a Championship Race will be automatically entered into the Club Championship competition for the distance of that event.

The one male and one female RRRC member with the lowest elapsed finish times in each Championship Race will be deemed the year’s Open Division Club Champion for the distance of that event. Qualifying as an Open Division award winner precludes receipt of other award(s) in the same event.

The one male and one female RRRC member age 40 to 49 with the lowest elapsed finish times in each Championship Race will be deemed the year’s Masters Division Club Champion for the distance of that event.

The one male and one female RRRC member over age 49 with the lowest elapsed finish times in each Championship Race will be deemed the Veterans Division Club Champion for the distance of that event.

As a reminder, to compete for and qualify for a Club Championship award, a competitor must register for the qualifying event before the start of that contest, must be a RRRC member at the start of the qualifying event and must be a RRRC member at the time of the associated Grand Prix banquet.

Club Championship awards will be presented at the RRRC Grand Prix/Volunteer Banquet that follows the conclusion of the 2011 to 2012 Grand Prix year. Club Champion award recipients or a designated proxy must be present at the Banquet to accept the award. An alternate means of distributing the Club Championship awards will be developed in the event of the Grand Prix/Volunteer Banquet being cancelled.

So, now that you’ve got the Championship Race information, let’s see you lace-up and earn some hardware!

Remember the words of Bill Bowerman- There’s no such thing as bad
weather, just soft people…
