FARNHAM RUNNERSClub Handicap
The Club Handicap is for fun ... and run in fancy dress!
2009 race was held on 27th December
The Farnham Runners' Club Handicap is an annual event held around Christmas / New Year where the fiendishly difficult task of allocating a handicap based on individuals past performance over various Grand Prix races is always the cause of much muttering and amusement!
This is the chance to run against and perhaps beat those 'racing snakes' on more even terms (i.e. without tying their shoelaces together...).
The race is only open to fully paid-up members of Farnham Runners.
The race is for fun ... and to even things up even more is held in fancy dress, usually following a theme. The route is on roads over approximately 4.25 miles.
The race qualifies towards participants' Grand Prix points total for the current year - and being the last Grand Prix event of the season is the final opportunity to make up a few places in the table.
After the race there is usually mulled wine and mince pies and the 'draw' for the allocation of the Farnham Runners places in the next years London Marathon to those members whose applications have been rejected (this is based on the number of Grand Prix events particpated in during the season).
