Outstanding Effort

The prize for Outstanding Effort - a year's Lewes AC membership - has been awarded to Matthew Oades, who finished in 23.47, which was almost a minute-and-a-half faster than last year. Over the past year or so, Matt has shed a stone in weight and lopped 10 minutes off his 10K time.

The prizes have now been distributed.

Please keep the donations coming in, and look out for a race report in the Sussex Express - in the Friday 18th September edition.

* Novice is defined as any runner who is not a member of a club and has not followed any form of regular cardio-vascular training for the past two years (excluding training specifically related to the Canter, in the 1-2 months).

 

** Age-graded percentage is this figure that compares a runner's performance to the world record for their age and sex at given distance. (These percentages will figure in the final results.) According to WAVA, these percentages can be categorised as follows: 100% = Approximate world record; Over 90% = World Class; Over 80% = National Class; Over 70% = Regional Class; Over 60% = Local Class.

 

*** The outstanding effort winner will be chosen at the discretion of the judges – and will be awarded to someone who, in the judges’ opinion, a) exerted themselves to the max b) will benefit from the prize.  

 

Winners will be announced and prizes distributed in the week following the race, after the official results have been published online.
