Owen Trophy 2024 – add your name to this spreadsheet, and we will calculate your base 10k time and target times a few days before the race date.
If you have any queries on the results or targets – please contact stridersofcroydon@gmail.com
How does it work?
The system is based around your 10K ‘base time’. Your initial ‘base time’ is your fastest 10K time for Striders in the period 01/09/2022 to 06/04/2024.
If you better your 10K ‘base time’ it will immediately be adjusted to reflect this new quicker time (your ‘base time’ can improve from any 10K race, not just Owen Trophy 10Ks).
If you haven’t run a 10K for Striders since 01/09/2022 then you won’t initially have a base time and so you won’t have target times.
Using that ‘base time’ we apply a standard factor to each race to give you a ‘target’ time and a ‘bonus target’ time for each race. (The ‘bonus target’ is simply the ‘target’ multiplied by 0.99 ). These ‘target’ factors are calculated by looking at previous results for Striders in these particular races and comparing these to their previous ‘base times’; in this way the difficulty of the course is factored into your target times.
If all this seems a bit confusing then check the examples at the bottom of this page.
Points scoring :
It’s your 6 best scores out of the 10 races listed below. Only your best marathon and half marathon score – you don’t score for multiples of these events.
Races for 2024
** NB: for your half and full marathon targets the time is based on your initial ‘base time’ of the Owen season.
** NB: since the 2018/19 season, the marathon and half marathon qualifying period has been shortened to 11 months, and each year going forwards the qualifying period will run from 1 November to 31 October each year.
Examples :
runner A’s ‘base time’ is 45.00
‘target’ time for Sutton is 45.53 (45.00 * 1.0197)
‘bonus target’ time is 45.26 (45.00 * 1.0095),
For their best half marathon their ‘target’ time would be 1.41.15 (45.00 * 2.25)
and the ‘bonus target’ time would be 1.40.14 (45.00 * 2.2275)
If runner B’s ‘base time’ is 55.00
‘target’ time for Sutton is 56.05
‘bonus target’ time is 55.31,
For their best half marathon their ‘target’ time would be 2.03.45
and the ‘bonus target’ time would be 2.02.31
