For many years now the East Cornwall Harriers have organised a race for club members, where every runner, no matter what ability, has a chance to win.
To be eligible to win the perpetual women’s or men’s trophy, each race entrant has a calculated handicap time, which is based on a minimum of 3 race results in the following series:
Cornish Grand Prix Series
- Blaythorn 10
- Mounts Bay 10K
- An Resek 10
- Cubert 5
- Sticker 5
- Launceston half
- Turkey Trot
- Magnificent 7
Local Races
- Plymouth Hoe 10
- Ivybridge 10K
- Plymouth half
- Bideford half
- DML 5K
A very scientific and secret formula is required to calculate the exact handicap times and the person calculating reserves the right to use her professional judgement to discount any unusual result times (or make it up as she goes along).
If you don’t have 3 race results to base a handicap time on you can still run but ONLY for FUN.
The START is at Merrymeet, runners are registered by 6:30pm and start times issued on the night to have everyone across the finish line by 8:00pm. The route is from Merrymeet to Foredown, up Caradon Hill, around the mast and back. Marshalls stationed from Foredown onwards and drinks available below the mast.
