Winter handicap series

The Folkestone Running Club handicap is held four or five times during the Winter. The course is approximately 4.6 miles. There's a map here. 

The starting time for each runner is calculated according to past performance, so that all runners finish the race at about the same time. If all goes well there is an exciting finish down the final straight. The race format rewards not the fastest runner but the runner who performs best in relation to their previous performance.

This year will be the second year of a trophy being awarded at the end of this season - and will be handed back to the club each year.

The handicap is for members of the Folkestone Running Club only and is free to enter. Some food is usually laid on at the Clubhouse after the run.
