Less than 99 to go!

We are getting extremely close to the magical 40,000 mark for the number of runners actively using the runbritain handicap scoring system to inform, motivate and monitor their running progress. We are less than 99 away from achieving this huge milestone and are ready to reward runner number 40,000 with a great prize that will provide even more encouragement.

We have over 300,000 runners' handicap scores and are working towards having as many claimants as is possible.

Runners of all standards having been claiming their free runbritain handicap scores and runner biog pages at the rate of 1,000 per calendar month, since the scheme was first launched in autumn 2010.

Your profile page features, amongst other things:

* personal progress graph
* direct comparisons with other runners with a 'head-to-head' function
* weekly mileage logger and graph
* current rankings by gender, age group and postcode

The scheme also includes National Ladder positions for runners at all distances. There are 174,000 ranking places.

The scores automatically update each time you run in a runbritain licensed event and so your progress graph will look different after this weekend's race or run than it does today - that is if you are racing or parkrunning this weekend!
