Competition Guidelines

Christchurch Runners

This page provides links to a number of pages related to the training competition which is organised by the running club.

A Timing Events Guide provided by Graham has been added recently, but apart from that and some routes most of these pages were written years ago, so please let me know if there is anything missing or needs updating. Some of the training rules are flexible, which gives the organiser some freedom, allows for more varied events and reflects the nature of the competition.
