Club Handicap

Sphinx AC Club Handicap Races

The club run a series of six summer handicap races on quiet country roads in and around the Coventry area. All races are approximately 5 miles in length.

Competition is open to all senior members of the club and any juniors over the age of 14 who are able to complete the distance in a respectable time.

To be eligible for the trophy and championship points runners need to be fully paid members of Sphinx AC on race day and have completed a minimum of four previous handicap races.

There are usually 2 races on Sunday mornings starting at 11:00 a.m and 4 evening races starting at 7:00 p.m. Results and trophies are presented on the day while having a social drink at a nearby pub.

Runners are allocated a start time based on their predicted race duration with points allocated based on the order over the finish line
