Welcome to the 2024 GDH Club Championships!
Based on the success of the 2021, 2022 and 2023 champs format, plus feedback from members, this year the Champs will be a based upon monthly time trails, but a few of them do coincide with real life races, so here you have the option! We hope there is a little something for everyone in the events on offer and we would love to repeat the record level of participation we saw during the last 3 years.
- 10 monthly races (3 races in each discipline – Road, Trail and Fell plus an Ultra)
- 2 Anytime challenges
- To qualify for the overall Champs, you must complete at least 5 races plus one anytime challenge. All qualifiers will receive a limited edition GDH gift!
- The overall champion (one for each gender and age category), will be award to the individuals who accumulate the most points
- To qualify as a discipline winner, you must complete all 3 events, e.g., all 3 Fell races
- The Ultra counts only towards Overall (i.e. not a discipline)
- Prizes available – MSenior, M40, M50, M60, M70, FSenior, F40, F50, F60, F70, applicable in each Overall, Fell, Road & Trail (40 prizes up for grabs!). NOTE: For the whole years champs please enter your category based on your age at 30/11/24
- Times will be collected for each month and then given a ranking depending on how many people took part. For example, if 30 FSenior and MSenior do a certain race, the fastest in each will receive 30 points, 2nd will receive 29 and so on.
- In months where there is a real-life race, participants can choose to enter the actual event or run the route at any time during the same month.
- The Champs will commence on February 1st, and finish on November 30th.
- This year we will look to audit category winners, so please be prepared to evidence your route by recording on Strava or some other suitable platform.
- Instead of self imposed time penalties for mistakes, this year we have introduced a fixed penalty system, varying per race, detailed below.
- Final decisions regarding disputes over time penalties rests with the Champs Sub Committee.

The Rules
The rules of the Championship are simple:
- Play fair and be honest.
- Prioritise safety over race time.
- For fell routes we strongly recommend you to run with a partner or group, however this is not mandatory.
- Be mindful of road crossing, other users of the road and trail, take headtorches and wear hi-viz when necessary.
- Follow all relevant guidelines:
- COVID – Welcome to GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) and COVID-19 Documentation | glossopdaleharriers (wordpress.com)
- Fell events – mandatory kit fellrunner.org.uk
- Countryside Code – The Countryside Code – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
- Follow GPX routes provided. In the spirit of rule number 1, if you deviate from the route and this leads to a time advantage, please adjust your submission per the time penalties listed. Equally do not rely on the GPX as your sole means of navigation – familiarise yourself with the route and take a map and compass for fell and potentially trail events.
- For any given route or challenge, if any of the rules are not complied with, the competitor may face disqualification from that event.
