Club Races and Handicap Races The club holds several races during the year which are just for our own members. Some of these are “Staggered Handicap” races and others are straight races with what is called a “Sealed Handicap”. What is a Handicap Race? A handicap race gives even the slowest members of the club a chance to beat faster runners - and even to win a race. The handicap is based on recent race times and, in theory, gives everyone an equal chance. Club Races Stuart Spooner Anniversary Three Mile (sealed handicap race) Carnaby Canter (sealed handicap) Constable Handicap (staggered start handicap) Christmas Handicap (staggered start handicap – run in Fancy Dress if you like) Other Events Eddie Knapp Challenge BRR Summer League - handicap points awarded on performances in Eight races (best 6 to count) Winter League - handicap points awarded on performances in Constable, Christmas & Anniversary Three Mile.

EYXC League Bridlington RR was a founder member of the East Yorkshire Cross Country League – this is a series of 6 Cross Country races at venues around East Yorkshire. Entry is free – when the season starts at the beginning of October just ask Bob Eyre/Emma Artley for a Race Number which you will retain for each of the races. Entering Races When you enter a race you are issued with a Race Number by the Race Organiser. But, the Race Number is not your entry - it is just a way of identifying one runner from another. If you enter a race and later find you cannot do it - please do not hand your number to somebody else. You are not giving them your entry - you are simply giving them your means of identity. This is against UK Athletic Rules and is also a safety issue. Some races do allow entries to be transferred - but it has to be done officially by contacting the Race Organiser.
