FFGP 2017, back by popular demand, same rules &
events as 2016 - let me know in advance of any half marathons & marathons
you're doing so I can set a handicap. Full details and dates:
A handicap series featuring some of your favourite
‘must do’ (and some ‘really ought to do’) spring & summer races
A choice of distances over 10 races – from less than 5k to a marathon
How does it work?
A ‘par’ performance (running as well as the
handicapper, Dave Beadle, thought you should) scores 15 points
Every 1% variance in performance adds (good) or subtracts 2 points, subject
to a maximum score per race of 25 points and a minimum 5
(up to) your best 6 performances (as determined by handicap) across the 10
race series will count i.e. highest aggregate score wins

entry); maximum of 2 Halves to scores

DB prior notice of entry); maximum of 1 full marathon to score
