Auldhouse Time Trial Update

As you will all see, the voting is close between the 5.2km and 5km options. By way of some party political broadcasting, can I state that the soon to be launched Calderglen Performance and PB Award Scheme will require you to set performance standards or PB's at 3 out of 5 event distances in any one year to qualify for a performance award. The 5 distances are 5k, 10k, 10 mile, half marathon and marathon. Furthermore, you will require to have run at least 3 events at any specific distance before the time can count as a pb.

I can see from the pb data that we have collected so far that very few people have run a 5k road or 5000m track race hence they are limiting themselves to 3 out of 4 possible event distances.

The Auldhouse time trial course will be accurately measured and hence would count for the purpose of 5k standards or PB's. That is why I suggested the 5k option. If you have already voted, it is possible to change your vote assuming you use the same PC to do so. Voting closes next Tuesday.
