NYMAC Road Championship 2021

We will take the best 14 of the 23 races ( virtual and real ) and the best 6 of the 8 “5ks and parkruns”, which are indicated by numbers starting with “P”.

The scoring system to help produce close competitions, is as follows: 50 points for 1^st NYMAC place or age grading win (ONLY where “AG” is stated), 49 for second, 48 for third and so on all the way down to 1, though everyone will get at least 1 point if they finish the race.

Men’s and ladies’ champs will run separate.

***Any real races entered as a NYMAC member but not ran with a NYMAC vest on will not receive points from that race (with the exception of the Loftus Poultry Run if you wish to dress up) ***

As usual, races based on the NMH series ( 2x 10k and 3x 5k ) and “parkruns” will be age graded.

The first two virtual “parkruns” are 5ks which can be done anywhere, then, once travel restrictions get eased we will set named locations for virtual parkruns, then hopefully later in the year we will be back to real parkruns.

Obviously 2021 is a year of unknowns, so we can’t commit to our normal “no changes to champ races” tradition.

Hopefully placeholder dates will get replaced by real races, if not then we will replace them with virtual races.  If any “in place of” virtual races get replaced by a real race later in the year, we will try to fit in the real race instead of the virtual race.

If any real races get moved to another date in 2021 we will keep them in the list, at their new date.  if they get cancelled we will replace with a virtual race.

For entry details for the real races see Road Fixtures and Results 2021

We will keep the total number of races the same.
