Race 1 - Dewsbury 10k
Race 1 - Dewsbury 10k
The 2025 club championship started later than planned after Stockeld PECO was cancelled. So the first race was at Dewsbury.
This popular fast 10k has been a club championship race for several years now due to its pb potential.
And it did not disappoint with pb's aplenty from the 30 STAC's who ran it.
Well done to Elle Warren who was 10th lady along with Shane Grace and Andrew Grinnell who were 2nd in their age category.

What is the STAC club championship?
The club championship is across 14 selected races over 2024. A runners best 8 races will count towards the championship. There will be prizes for best female and male runner and the league table will be updated throughout the year.
There will also be the ‘Andrew Gardner award’ for any runner who does all races. The award is named after Andrew who incredibly did 339 consecutive club races between 1992 and 2020.
*New to 2025* The will be a prize for the runner who scores the most accumulative points
For the races chosen, we try to get a good variety of events; from distance, size, terrain and hills!
All 1st and 2nd claim members are welcome to join any or all the races. There is usually a good STAC turnout on all events. So even if you can only make one or two it’s a great way to do a run that you wouldn’t normally do with other STACs!
How does scoring work?
There is a maximum 400 points possible per race.
The fastest STAC will get 400 points; 200 points for the fastest time and 200 points for being best STAC.
Everyone else gets points related to how fast they were compared to the fastest time (so if a person was 25% slower they would get 150/200 points) and their STAC placing in that race (so if they were 5th fastest STAC 195/200) points. A total of 345/400 points for this example.
There are 13 races in 2024 and the best 7 will count towards the final placing in the table.
Throughout the year the club championship table will be updated as follows:
Race 1 - Best 1 from 1 race
Race 2 - 2 from 2
Race 3 - 2 from 3
Race 4 - 3 from 4
Race 5 - 3 from 5
Race 6 - 4 from 6
Race 7 - 4 from 7
Race 8 - 5 from 8
Race 9 - 6 from 9
Race 10 - 6 from 10
Race 11 - 7 from 11
Race 12 - 7 from 12
Race 13 - 8 from 13
Race 14 - 8 from 14
