Race Calendar: Les Croupiers Running Club

This is a fairly arbitrary listing of road (5k, 10k, 10M, etc), cross-country, and trail races aimed largely at our club members, so most are within a reasonable drive from South Wales. In general, I have assumed that the longer the race, the further people are prepared to travel, hence the international selection of marathons, while most of the others are in Britain.

There is a still experimental interactive version of this calendar which allows you to select races by price, distance from you, and so on.

If you want your race listed, please use the race listing form. This is still a tad experimental, and may be a bit buggy for now. My linking policy is below.

These are races we expect to be on. Links, where known, are provided so you can double check.

Where two entry fees are given the first is for runners affiliated to the Welsh Athletics Association (AAW), for races in Wales, or the Scottish Athletics Federation (SAF) in Scotland, or simply members of a club, for races in England. The second is for anyone not covered by the first. Please note that as of January 1, the levy for unattached runners in English races went up from £1 to £2.

147 races.

Linking Policy

I’m generally too lazy to look very hard for race details. Some races are sent to me. Where they’re not and I’ve added a race because it’s in the club championship, if I’ve got an entry form from the club or somewhere, I’ll use that, otherwise I don’t bother downloading entry forms. I wouldn’t download an entry form unless I wanted to enter a race, and I wouldn’t know that I wanted to enter if I didn’t know what time it started or where it was. So sometimes I don’t know these things; if information is missing, it’s probably because I couldn’t find it.

Where possible, I link to the page I found the useful information on. Anything more than one click away is too confusing. Useful here means when (date), where, when (time), how much, and so on. If this is on an entry form, I will link to that, making it clear that it is a PDF, Word Doc or whatever. If this information isn’t anywhere, I can’t see the point of linking, so I won’t.
