Skipton AC 2023-24 Handicap What is a handicap? Each runner gets a target time relating to their ability. People are set off running in reverse order of pace with the 'least quick' going off first and 'least slow' last. Since the quicker runners will gradually be catching up the slower runners, the finish is something of a stampede! Runners will be awarded points in finish order. How do I get handicap points? In each race: The overall winner will be decided by: Taking part The club run on the last Thursday of the month will be the handicap route and this will show in the route rota from October 2023 onwards. There will be no other club run that night. If you are unable to make the night of the handicap, then please submit a time recorded on the course during the week before or the week after the handicap date and you will be included in the results. If you are not ‘racing' that night, please volunteer by either helping with the timing / places or by trotting out around the course and standing somewhere to help keep people safe and to encourage the runners. Estimated times The route is 4.3 miles. For the first event, an estimate of a fair pace (minutes per mile) will be used. Thereafter your recorded finishing times will be used to inform your handicap target time (but your PB does not become your handicap time). The route The route is a total of around 4.3 miles comprising 3 loops: a ‘top loop'; a ‘CVT loop' (CVT = Castle View Terrace); and a ‘Hayton loop'. Here is a link to a video which describes key points on the course with maps and descriptions of each loop below:
