An old staple, back from a few years siesta in our Club Championships, Meanwood Valley Trail takes on a scenic local suburban trail with several tough climbs as 14 members found out this weekend! Well done to all.

For the club championships, I posted potential handicap predictions on the Facebook group prior to the event, which seemed to go down well. It seems I underestimated the difficulty of the race, so I’ve increased the handicap difficulty to match the performances of our runners. Based on the new set of Handicap times, visible on the results page, there was a 6% difference between 12 of the runners (had this been run as a handicap race majority would have finished within metres of each other!). The top 3 runners against their handicaps were:
| Position | Name | H’cap Time | Diff | Time | Points |
| 1 | Ian Taylor | 01:15:57 | 10.58% | 01:07:55 | 50 |
| 2 | Ben Coldwell | 00:49:22 | 2.56% | 00:48:06 | 49 |
| 3 | Elizabeth Walker | 01:18:31 | 2.18% | 01:16:48 | 48 |

Due to a slight technical malfunction on the league table, several members were missing their Parkrun bonuses (apologies). It has now been amended and all that have done at least 4 according to RunBritain have had their bonuses added.
All this means there’s been a slight shake up in the table… James Nundy keeps his commanding lead but there’s several in the pack waiting to pounce! Chris Glover, our chairman, has crept into 2nd place and Alan O’Brien (whose done 10 out of the possible 15 races) has moved into 3rd. There’s still plenty of time to get races in, there’s 5 events to be finalised! Don’t forget Even Splits 5k series (3 remaining) and the Wildcard entry (see Rules for more information). The PECO race will be Race 1 at Temple Newsam on Sunday 24th November.
