The CompassSport Cup

The CompassSport Cup (CSC) is an interclub competition with regional heats and a final, which this year is at South Gare, near Radcar.  The competition is split into the Cup (for 'large' clubs) and the Trophy (for 'small' clubs).

This year CLOK is in the Cup competition and we will be competing against AIRE and SYO in our regional heat.

The top club goes to the final.  However, as CLOK is organising the final we automatically qualify for it irrespective of our result in the heat.

Courses

Each age group is allocated to a colour-coded course from Orange to Brown, as shown in this table.

CourseAge classes
BrownMen Open
Short Brown  M20- and M40+
BlueM50+ and Women Open
GreenM18-, M60+, W20- and W45+
Short GreenM70+, M80+, W18-, W60+ and W70+  
OrangeM14- and W14-

Some of the courses are divided into separate classes.  For example, there are separate Blue Men and Blue Women classes.

In each class, the winner gets 100 points, and the score for lower places drops by 1 or 2 points per place depending on whether the class is categorised as "large" or "small".

Please note that Juniors cannot be shadowed if they're competing in the CSC competition.

There will also be Light Green and Yellow courses available on an "entry on the day" basis the event for runners who are not taking part in the main event.

The club will pay all entry fees for the CompassSport Cup runners.
