Road Championship 2023

Our 2023 Road Championship calendar included 12 races, with participants needing to run a minimum of 5:

1. Dewsbury 10k (5/2)
2. Wombwell 5 (19/2)
3. Dronfield 10k (12/3)
4. Sheffield Half Marathon (26/3)
5. Eyam Half Marathon (14/5)
6. Lindley 10k (25/6)
7. Loxley Lash (5/7)
8. Newark Half Marathon (13/8)
9. Big Dipper Half Marathon (10/9)
10. Sheffield 10k (24/9)
11. Holmfirth 10k (15/10)
12. Bolsover 10k (10/12)

For each race, runners scored points based on how their time compared to the time of the first-placed runner of the same sex: 100 points x (winning time / your time). So for example, if the winner took 60 minutes and you took 75, you’d have scored 100 x (60 / 75) = 80 points. A slower runner who took 80 minutes would have scored 100 x (60 / 80) = 75 points.

Additionally, for the first time, any road marathon that appeared on Power of 10 before the final race could also count as one of an athlete’s 5 races. For marathons, the reference time for points calculations was the fastest time run by a Strider during the championship. For men, this was Rob Byers’ 2:30:04; for women, it was Simone Young-Alls’ 3:10:56.

A runner’s total score for the championship was their best five race scores added together. Runners needed to complete at least 5 races to be eligible for prizes.
