JME 5k Series 2024
Book a sessionAbout this run
EVENT INFORMATION The idea of the handicap is to give runners of different abilities the chance to compete equally. First you need to work out how fast you can complete a 5k course. If you have recently participated at a local 5k Parkrun or similar, we suggest using this as a base time. As a rule of thumb, the handicap is based on 40 minutes, so, if you think that it will take you 30 minutes to complete your run you will be given a 10-minute handicap and start at 7:10pm. If you expect to do a 20-minute 5k you will have a 20-minute handicap and start at 7.20pm. The idea is that everyone finishes close together. After each race, handicaps (start times) are adjusted as you get quicker. Handicaps are adjusted after each race using numerical timings to keep the racing fair & fun to help you achieve a new personal best. Please be advised, this is not a competition, the only person you are competing against is yourself & solely for personal gains.
