Page Cup Handicap
Traditionally our 2nd cross-country handicap* fixture..
… the Page Cup (5 miles or 8km) event is suitable for all abilities and is open to all club members aged 15 years and above.
Donated to the club in 1883 by W.C. Page Esq, this is one of our oldest trophies. Medals will be awarded to the first 3 finishers, the 3 fastest men and the 3 fastest women. The first person across the line (non-guest) will take home the Page Cup.
PLUS: with this year’s Page Cup falling on Halloween, we’re adding a little fancy-dress fun! Alongside the usual race awards, there’ll be gold, silver and bronze for the three best costumes to cross the finish line.
Costume creativity will count more than speed, so this could be your chance to win a bright, shiny Ranelagh medal! Dressing up is entirely optional, but we’d love as many of you as possible to join in the fun.
Entry is FREE via www.my.ranelagh-harriers.co.uk/events/page2026
Please enter by 23:59 on Wednesday 28 October to allow the club handicapper time to do their job.
Kindly note that no on-the-day entries are permitted. Please also refer to our club's disclamer >
* HOW DOES A HANDICAP WORK? Runners are awarded individual start times based on recent performances. The one with the most generous handicap will start first, with subsequent runners starting after at their allotted time. If done accurately, everyone should finish the race at roughly the same time. To ensure fairness, you must have run a minimum of 3 club events to be awarded a handicap, otherwise you will compete as a guest.
