The Races
The Chippenham Harriers 2026 Club Championships will begin Saturday 7th February. Points for the Open & Masters Club Championships will be awarded up to and including Sunday 25th October. This gives us time to compile the results prior to the big reveal at the 2026 Christmas Party.
As in previous years the committee work to make this championship inclusive. The idea is to have increased opportunities to score points, whilst keeping the costs of entry fees to a minimum. We hope you enjoy the range of events and the opportunity to experience some competitive racing in Wiltshire.
Best 10 of 14 events. Points scored as follows: best time 30 pts, 29pts, 28pts etc down to 5 pts minimum for entry (everyone gets at least 5 points by finishing). Many races we just take your best time, like the Heddington 5k series. Your best 10 events count, do more or less, as your time permits. Masters is for the 40+ (at 6th Feb 2026) runners. Full rules on the relevant page.
