Senior Results Submission

  • Uploaded runs for submission must be named as follows for each event: 5k Handicap Event 1, 5k Handicap Event 2, 5k Handicap Event 3 and 5k Handicap Event 4.
  • Only ONE run per participant must be named as stated above during each Event Week; if you have multiple attempts at the run do not name it until you know which run you want to submit as your result.
  • For senior participants not on Strava you must email a link or screen shot of your recorded activity to runners@bidefordaac.co.uk before the end of each Event Week. Only one run per Event Week should be submitted.
