The Instep Devon Championship is a race series from a selection of Instep clubs races over the year. The list of races for this year is given in the table below. Runners have to run in at least 4 races during the year to qualify. Runners earn points according to their race position both overall and in their age category. If there are 3 or more club members running (male and female separately) in a race then the club gets points as well for the team prize. Note runners must always include their club name in their entry to ensure they are included in the Instep results. The age category for the first race in the year is the one assumed for the whole year even though they may have changed mid-year. New for 2025 is the female age categories are now the same as the male categories and running in only 4 races are needed to qualify for a winning place. Note the Club points are doubled for the Exe Relay event. If there is a draw in the final results the number of races run is also taken into account. Post a message on Instep Devon FB page if any problems or contact Roger Saunders (Honiton RC).
