Massey Ferguson Leagues
Members compete in six distances across the season at any event:
5 km / 5 mile / 10 km / 10 mile / half-marathon / marathon
Runners score points for each distance, according to their times. Their four best scores are tallied to create a total score.
Summer Handicap
Six races are held the first Wednesday of the month at different locations and cover distances between 5k–10k.
Runners set off in stages according to their ability. Points are awarded based on finishing position with a runner’s best four performances tallied to produce a final score.
Each race also awards the first male and female finisher.
Winter Handicap
Typically, a parkrun at a different venue each month. Each runner receives a handicap, against which their best effort that month is calculated.
