Main Club Championship 2025

Here is the list of races included in the GVS Main Club Championships for 2025.

New for 2025: the main champs has been expanded to 24 races. Of these 24, 6 will also make up the Winter Road Championship, 6 will make up the Summer Fell Championship, and 6 the new Mini Championship. Thus in many races, you can score points in multiple championships.

If you take part in at any 6 of the races, you can receive a GVS Championship T-shirt at the next AGM. This is optional and, as part of our sustainability programme, you will only receive one if you say you want one.

We hope lots of members will take part. Good Luck!

Notes:

First Strider to finish a race gets 60 points, second 59 and so on. This is also true for Vets categories. In the event of a tie, both runners will receive the same score.

Your best 8 scores from each of the races will be used to calculate final standings. To qualify you must complete at least one race from each category (Road, Trail and Fell) and at least one race of each distance (Short, Medium and Long). We use FRA fell race categories to determine championship distances: under 10k is Short, between 10k and 20k is Medium, and over 20k is Long.

All races will be decided by chip timing where it is available, otherwise timing is decided by the published official results. In cases where the championship states that runners may enter on more than one occasion (eg parkrun), positions will be determined by ordering everyone's best time.

To get championship points for a race, you must represent GVS in that race. This means you must enter with Goyt Valley Striders as your club. You must also wear a Striders top during the race. For parkrun, you need to sign in and set us as your primary group; there is, however, no requirement to wear a GVS vest at parkrun.
