The Serpentine Age-Graded Championship uses performance factors to calibrate Club Championship race times, to put everyone (male and female, younger and older) on a level playing field. The Championship is awarded to the first claim member with the highest average percentage from 6 of the 10 championship races.
The results of the club championships are published in the results database.
Any marathon run this year will count towards the Club Championships. When inputting marathon times in the results database the official time should be used, and for championship contenders this will be checked at the end of the year against published results
