Nidd Valley Virtual Championships 2020.

There will be a participation badge for those who have completed 4 out of the 7 races. Prizes will be awarded to female and male overall winners and female and male Age Adjusted winners.
Points will be allocated the same way as the existing championships and the best 4 results will determine your final position.
Results need to be emailed to Sarah and Me (Kevin) by 21:00 on the Sunday night at the end of the race week – we will submit these to Mark for the website. I know not all members use Strava, Garmin or have GPS watches. As a result evidence is not required for submitting results. We’re going on your trust for the virtual championships.
Race Rules/Guidelines –
• Try and keep courses as Net Flat – e.g. Circular or Out and back
• Do not stop and pause watches mid race
• Keep within social distancing rules
• Must be a paid member by the 31/08/2020
Thank you to Martin, Sarah and Christine who have supported putting this together.
A message from the Club Captains
Hi Nidders,
We are sure it will come as no surprise to many of you that the Committee took the decision at their meeting this week to cancel both the Road and Fell Championships for this year. Please be assured this decision has not been taken lightly and we realise that this will be a blow to many of you however, given the uncertainty around when and what social distancing may change, we think it the right decision to make. If we are lucky enough to be able to participate in any races this year lets just go out there any enjoy them!
As the XC Championship had pretty much completed with 11 out of the 12 races being held the associated trophies and medals will be awarded, hopefully early next year.
And onto 2021 with the hope that we can restart the championships, the current plan is, wherever possible, keep the same races as was planned for this year. Hopefully this will mean for those of you that have paid for races this year that have now been postponed to next year you won’t have to re-enter or loose your entry fees.
Stay safe everyone and continue to enjoy your running.Sarah and Kevin
