Bridget Kendrick is the 25,000th handicap claimant
Bridget Kendrick is the winner of an adidas mi-coach after claiming the 25,000th runbritain handicap.
The landmark figure highlights the popularity of the handicap scoring concept which offers claimants the following:
1. It’s a unique handicap system for running. Just like golf you get a handicap from 0.0 - 36.0 giving runners of all abilities the chance to benchmark their progress and compare their results across a range of terrains and distances. The score automatically updates each time you race (once you have claimed) and rewards regular racing as well as automatically factoring in a degree of difficulty on races that are multi-terrain, hilly or windy.
2. You can be part of the National Running Ladder and check out where your handicap puts you compared to every other runner in the UK, e.g. does your 5k time put you higher than your friend’s half marathon and marathon times?
3. You can be part of ‘Reward Running’ and be in with a chance of winning an adidas mi-coach or Sennheiser headphones if your score shows the greatest improvement - it’s free to enter too
4. You can find out where your times put you in the official UK road rankings
5. And finally...you can log your training mileage, watch your progress graph rise and check out head-to-heads with your training partners.
All the information you need is on the runbritain rankings site.
