HOW DOES A Handicap WORK? Rather than start everyone at the same time, a Handicap race sees each runner awarded an individual start time by the Handicapper based on their recent race performances. The runner with the most generous Handicap will set off first, with each subsequent runner starting at their allotted time. If the Handicapper has done their job, all runners should in theory end up finishing the race at roughly the same time. To ensure this is the case members must have run a minimum number of club events in order to be awarded a Handicap (and failing this they will compete as a guest). The first runner across the finishing line wins the Handicap.
Course
1 small lap (tbc) and 1 large lap (see below). Start and finish at the top of Queens Ride.
Prizes
Coad Cup
This trophy was donated to the club in 1947 by W H Coad who had won it outright in a 5 miles club steeplechase in 1882. The donor expressed a desire for the race to be held during the summer months. It was first competed for in 1948.
Prizes are awarded to the first three finishers, three fastest men and three fastest women.

The race comprises 6 laps of approximately 1.3 miles per lap, run clockwise around the outside of Sidmouth Wood, starting and finishing opposite Pembroke Lodge. Teams of three runners, comprising a “fast”, a “medium” and a “slow” runner will be selected, from the runners who have entered the race, by the Club Handicapper. He will aim to put together teams of more or less equal overall speed. The fast runner runs three laps, the medium two laps and the slow one lap of the course. The running order is at the discretion of each team.

Page Cup
The Page Cup shall be awarded to the first finisher. This trophy was donated to the club in 1883 by W.C.Page esq, mine host at the Fox and Hounds where most of our social functions were held. It would been one of the club’s oldest trophies but for a burglary at Chris Brasher’s house in Petersham in 1975. The burglars made away with most of Brasher’s trophies, including the Page Cup but thankfully not his Olympic gold.

Prizes shall be awarded to the first three finishers, the three fastest men and the three fastest women.
