Club Standards
The 6 recognised race distances that qualify for Club Standards are: Marathon, Half Marathon, 10 Miles, 10K, 5 Miles and 5K.
A member who achieves a Standard at 4 out of the 6 recognised distances will receive a small memento recording their achievement. Where different Standards are achieved across the distances, the award will be at the lowest level achieved. A further certificate or memento, as appropriate, will be issued where a member subsequently achieves a higher Standard.
Age is calculated as your age on the day of the race.
Details of qualifying times by sex and age for Diamond, Gold, Silver and Bronze Standards are available using this search facility:

It will be a member’s own responsibility to apply for a Standard by supplying details of their name, date of birth and qualifying performance(s) i.e. name and date of the event as well as their finishing time. The relevant information should either be emailed to the chairperson or passed on through a committee member.
A personal timing will be accepted where it is not wildly different from the official time! To achieve a particular standard the time must be the Standard time or lower. In other words, a runner in the Open Male category, for example, who finishes a marathon in 2 hours 35 minutes 38 seconds will achieve the Diamond Standard. If his watch ticks over to 2 hours 35 minutes 39 seconds he must be satisfied with Gold and the commiserations of clubmates that he will surely receive!
