Bourton Roadrunners’ Juniors
Competition & Races
We encourage Juniors to run in the annual Gloucestershire AAA's Cross Country Race League and the Gloucestershire AAA's County Championships. Five races in total from October to February.
There are separate races for Boys & Girls and the age groups and approximate distances are: Under 11 – approximately 1.5km; Under 13 – approximately 3km and U15 / U17 – approximately 5km.
There is a chance of winning medals as an individual or part of a team.
A Club Vest must be worn during competition. Club Vests may be borrowed on the day but must be handed back at the finish or may be purchased from the club to keep.
We highly advise the use of Cross Country Spikes for Cross Country.
Junior Club Winter Cross Country Competion.
To take part in this competition you must run and complete at least three races in the Gloucestershire Cross Country League. If you take part in at least three of the League Races you can also include your position in the Gloucestershire Cross Country Championships where there are usually less runners. The best three finishing positions count, with a Gold, Silver and Bronze Medal for the top three runners in each age group and a Medal for all those that take part.
Athlete of the Year.
At the end of the year the Junior Leaders choose one male and one female member who have performed extremely well in training and races throughout the year with the Athlete of the Year Award. They are given a small Trophy to keep and also share the Jack Oakey Trophy for six months each.
BRR Juniors 3 Year Effort Award.
For the next three seasons (from 2012) we are trialing this new award that is given to any member who has turned up regularly for training and has taken part in at least three consecutive Junior Club Winter Cross Country Competitions. The trophy will be awarded at the end of the year.
For the 2012 Season the SPAR has kindly sponsored the Juniors for all the Medals and Trophies.
You must be a First Claim Club Member to take part in these Competition's and awards..
