Royston Runners Enjoy Fantastic Turnout at Midweek League Race
The Royston Runners recently gathered in impressive numbers for the first event in the popular midweek league race, held at Stevenage showcasing the club’s vibrant community spirit and passion for running.
This week’s turnout had over 60 members lacing up their trainers for the popular event and everybody did brilliantly on a difficult course.
The Midweek Road Race League is a series of competitive 10k races held across Hertfordshire and beyond during the summer months. Royston Runners compete proudly in league 2, wearing their distinctive black and red vests, with the team spirit evident both on and off the course.
After the run, many members stayed to catch up, share the infamous Paul wagon wheel, and plan for upcoming races and social events. This blend of fitness and friendship is what makes Royston Runners more than just a running club—it’s a community.
How does the league work/scoring?
Each midweek league finisher is given the number of points of their position i.e. if you finish 55th, you get 55 points. The scores of the first 12 men and the first 6 women in the club are accumulated. These aggregated scores are ranked among the other clubs and the top-performing club will be awarded 9 points down to the ninth club being awarded 1 point. This scoring system is used for each of the four scoring fixtures.
If there are up to (and including) 12 men and 6 women, everyone’s points contribute to the team’s ranking. If there are more than 12 men or 6 women, you ‘steal’ your position from other clubs meaning that position’s points cannot be redeemed by them – this improves our relative score could impact our ranking.
Clubs with larger teams may allocate A, B, etc. teams. These are additional groups of 12 men and 6 women but are not considered as additional clubs in the final tables.
The next race will be held at Cassiobury Park hosted by the Watford Joggers and we can’t wait to see you all. For the results, please visit this page – Results
