Results FAQs

What's a grey background mean?
It means you are either a new runner, are new in this distance, or ran only once in the previous year at this distance. Handicaps will be applied for the next race making you eligible for club championship points.

I'm a casual runner. How does that affect my results and handicaps?
Casual runners run in bibs rather than with leg tags. The club attracts a lot of runners who only run once so bib runners are not handicapped in the same way as members and do not receive club championship points. Your handicap will be directly based on the speed you ran in their previous race with the club and you will appear in the results list with a grey background. If you decide to become a member, points from your last race will be retrospectively awarded and you will appear in the aggregates.

What is the + or - figure based on?
This figure is the time difference between your actual time and your estimated time. Your estimated time is determined by the handicapper who determines a time per km based on your recent form. This rate is then entered into a spreadsheet and a formula rounds start times to the nearest 10 seconds. Rounding helps the official starter call runners to the line in blocks so it's not too confusing. Sometimes in the results you can be placed behind somebody who has beaten their handicap by less than you. This is because they may have been rounded up by as many as 5 seconds and you may have been rounded down by as many as 4 seconds. In a short race, 9 seconds can make a big diffence to the placings. Over the course of a season, you will sometimes be rounded up and sometimes down so in some races it will benefit you and in others it will penalise you. Overall it should even out and not affect your aggregate points more than anybody else. It's not a perfect system but the best we can do.
