COMRADES ENTRY SUBSTITUTIONS

If you have entered Comrades 2013 and you are NOT going to run, please contact Denese Venter on 076 548 8228 or 011 907 9383 in order for your number to be substituted with members of the club who would still like to enter. ANNUAL PRIZE-GIVING POINTS SYSTEM

The club has an annual points system that is used to determine winners in each distance and category at the annual prize-giving. The system is explained fully on the website www.albertonroadrunners.co.za under Road Running -> Incentives or contact Andries Venter or Deon Pretorius for more information. In summary: o The first 3 runners per category at selected CGA, GN and Vaal races receive 100, 99 and 98 points respectively. o To be considered for an annual category prize a person has to compete in at least 3 races (from the selected list) for that category for the year and the person’s top 3 points for the year for that category are added together. o The top 3 points earners for the year win first, second and third place per category. o A person receives additional points for breaking club records for a specific category and distance at any of the selected races. o The reason for limiting it to CGA, GN and Vaal races is mainly to eliminate the advantage someone gains from running at lower altitude as well as to “equal” the playing field regarding costs to attend far-off races.

Here is a list of the 2013 road running fixtures where points will be awarded. We will also endeavour to send the updated points standings with the newsletter every second month.
