Update on Awards Criteria for 2023 As discussed at the January 11th Committee Meeting, and agreed to communicate to all Members in this digest, it has been agreed to keep the criteria for 2023 awards the same as 2022, ie:
- Awards to be given to first 3 eligible male and female Age Adjusted championship runners, and to first 3 First Past the Post runners. Eligibility and scoring is as documented on TaSH website.
- If any runner is in first 3 of both, the FPTP award will go to the next placed runner.
- If two runners finish with the same points total in a category based on their 10 best results, the position will be awarded to the member with the highest total points score from all 18 championship races.
- Recognition will be given to any Harriers who complete all championship races.
Adult Supervision of junior runners at training sessions This was discussed at the January 11th Committee Meeting: if you bring junior members to training, please note in order to maintain safety of all runners we have agreed that:
- A parent can supervise a maximum of 3 of their own children;
- If an adult is acting as responsible person, supervising any children other than their own, the maximum is two children. Written authority from a person with parental responsibility (can be electronic, an email to coaches@tasharriers.club) is required.
