Get signed up for April Reward Running
April Reward Running is now underway so register now to be eligible for a prize!
Reward Running is a simple principle:
Each month runners can win a Reward Running prize if they reduce their handicap score by the largest number of points in the month.
At the end of the month, the runners who are in the Top 10 of the leaderboard that month will win a prize - an Adidas miCoach for the winner, and Sennheiser headphones for the rest.
The top 10 consists of the runners who have improved their handicap the most in that month, but within the top 10, one place is reserved for the most improved in each of the four handicap categories:
1: 5 or under
2: 6-12
3: 13-20
4: 21 or above
There is also one place reserved for the most improved runner that has run at least 10 races in the year before the competition month.
April is a bonus month too, because for this month only, there will also be one spot prize of a pair of Sennheiser headphones, drawn randomly from the full list of April entrants, if you register before the end of the month.
To be eligible for all of the above, it goes without saying that you need to claim your free runbritain handicap score.
Here are six great reasons to get involved:
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
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. 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. Find out where your times put you in the official UK road rankings
5. Log your training mileage, watch your progress graph rise and check out head-to-heads with your training partners
6. This is the bonus reason - we have a free adidas mi-coach (worth £125) for the 20,000th runner to get on board and that landmark figure is fast approaching.
Confirmation of our March winners will follow soon!
