2017 #clickyourclock to start on 29th March

We are pleased to announce that the 2017 #clickyourclock competition will start at the end of this month from the 29th of March with the first prize draw on the 5th of April.

Last year, #clickyourclock won the Innovation prize at the European Athletics Golden Tracks awards ceremony.

#clickyourclock is our weekly competition, that runs from late spring to early autumn, and has been designed to promote the runbritain handicap scoring system which, itself, has been designed to support the runner's transition into racing and continuous progression towards individual running targets and goals.

The handicap scoring system tracks every runner of every level that participates in runbritain licensed events and parkruns. The entry level score is set at 36.0 with the lowest handicap score currently belonging to  Mo Farah who is on MINUS 7.1. The system encourages personal progression but also allows runners to compare themselves against others within the overall population, gender, age group and postcode and places each runner on the National Ladder.

At 12 noon each Wednesday, from the first week in April. a random draw will be made from all those runners on the #clickyourclock leaderboard whose scores have improved by any amount in the preceding seven days and the prize is a Polar FT1 heart rate monitor. The racing week starts each Wednesday so, from Wednesday 29th March, your racing counts for more!
