| RR10 LEAGUE |
|
   
| The RR10 league is a series of races
organised by running clubs in south-west Hampshire for their members. The races
are held on Wednesday evenings during the spring and summer. Entry is free.
All of the races are 4-5 miles off-road. The standard of runners varies
from 5-minute milers to 12+ minute milers so, however fast you are, there
will always be someone to run with. If you aren't a member of one of the
organising clubs, go to one of their websites (links below) and join up
so that you can be part of the fun!

WEDNESDAY 6TH FEBRUARY 2019 - AGM The AGM was held on 6th February with representatives from all clubs present. The full minutes will be available soon, but the main points arising and the schedule for 2019 are given below. (1) The AGM voted to change the scoring system for the individual leagues (including vet categories) so that, rather than the sum of the best six finishing positions, league position will be based on the percentage of other runners in the category that were beaten. This is the way that the ranking table has always been calculated. It is being done to eliminate the unfairness that can arise when races have a large disparity in the number of finishers. For example, in the 2018 races, Whiteley had 108 women finishers but Hursley had 206, so a finishing position of, say, 100th, should count for more in the Hursley race. Under the new system it would score 7.5% (beat 8 of the 107 other runners) for Whiteley and 51.7% (106/205) for Hursley. (2) The first two and the last two races will now start at 7.00pm and all others at 7.30pm. (3) In the past we have provided at least 5000 single-use cups per season. To avoid this waste, cups will no longer be provided by the organisers, but water and squash will be available to those who bring their own cups/bottles, and you can of course bring your own drinks. (4) The increasing popularity of the RR10 series has meant that nearly all of our race venues were at or beyond their capacity in 2018, particularly for car parking space. To prevent problems, we have decided to reduce numbers at each event by adding another drop-out event for each club, but at the same time we have added a new event so that everyone can still run in nine races. In summary, there are now twelve races and each club runs in nine, organises one, and drops-out of two. X = Drop out race, ORG = Organising club
RACE COUNT TABLE Table showing the number of RR10s everyone has run from 1995 onwards. Let me know if there are any duplicates/mistakes. [webmaster@rr10.org.uk - Alan Tulip] Personal music players with earphones are not allowed during RR10 races. It is very important that marshalls' instructions can be heard at all times, and some runners have complained about being blocked on narrow parts of a course by runners unaware that someone was coming up behind them. Pictures from races thanks to Paul Hammond. Malcolm Price has written a short history of the league, and added some thoughts on the future. |
Race calendar and results
Vet categories of V40, V50 and so on are included for clubs which have provided the data. A runner's category is fixed for the season based on their age on the date of the first race.
