Did you race over the weekend? By training and racing regularly your runbritain profile will maintain a healthy score and if you plan to peak for a target race, we hope you will improve it by a significant amount and make your way up the National Ladder. Don't forget that the National Ladder not only ranks you in the UK overall but by gender, age and postcode too.

The runbritain hanidcap scoring system was launched just over seven years ago and each year there has been an average of almost 10,000 signing up to the system that tracks race and parkrun performances and gives every runner in the UK a handicap score that reflects fitness and commitment levels.

The number of sign-ups per year show a peak of 13,264 in 2012. We have almost hit 10,000 for 2017 and had more new sign-ups last week. We are very close to a total of 80,000 since we began and hope to achieve this early in the next month. (79,941 at the last count!) 

All the information you need is on the runbritain rankings site. Sign up today and see if you can be our 80,000th claimant!
