For Club Standards Tuesday 21st October 2025 – Monday October 19th 2026

All race events & results must be verifiable through official means and a URL of the results must be submitted as part of your submission, which also must include a WAVA score. A template has been provided which you can download, to help you include all the evidence we need. The Committee reserve the right to veto certain races which are not officially measured/hold a race licence or those that are deemed untypical. However, the committee are likely to accept performances where they are well within the required WAVA scores. Events do not have to be part of the club championship events.

All events MUST be completed in the 12 months between between Tuesday 21st October 2025 and Monday October 19th 2026 in order for them to contribute towards the standards. Awards will be presented at the AGM in November 2026.

It is the individual members’ responsibility to inform the club via info@brackleyrunningclub.co.uk of their results, using this template.
