Enter Mob Match round 3 – Bury (A)

OK.  as the Stones used  to say..

Well I told you once and I told you twice
But ya never listen to my advice
You don’t try very hard to please me
With how you run it should be easy
Well this could be the last time
This could be the last time
Maybe the last time
I don’t know, oh no, oh no
Well, I’m sorry guys but I can’t  run
I wish I could it would be fun
It’s too much pain and too much sorrow
Guess I’ll feel the same tomorrow

So ….

Let’s get registered 🙂 Click here

Welcome to ROUND 3 – Virtual Winter Mob Match – Individual Entry

This is where you as an individual enter into your team’s mob match.

This round works just like the previous 2 rounds, just scroll down, find and enter your match  (make sure you select the Confirm button), choose an (eligible) 5k route, run it, and submit your time.

You will receive an email confirmation if you’ve entered successfully – contact us if you don’t get one.

===================== Final Qualifying Round……..so what happens next ??? ========================

At the end of this round, we will be saying goodbye to some of the teams as we reach the end of the qualifying rounds.

We’ll calculate the top 2 teams per band based on your team scoring 2 points per win during rounds 1,2 & 3. Any ties will be decided by your team’s total number of individual points across the 3 rounds.

This means that for bands 1, 2 & 4, round 4 will be a rest week as the top 2 teams in groups 2 and 3 play a semi final to decide the finalists for band 3.

Round 5 will then be the Finals for each band.

We’ll be posting updates on our Facebook event page – just click the Facebook logo on the left of the ‘Results’ button at the top of this screen.

=============================================================================================

Entry cost is per team, not per runner so you will not pay a fee to enter your match.

Every finisher counts towards the team score, having the fastest runners doesn’t guarantee your team the win but the number of runners you get out could just do it for you.

General rules:

  • any member of your team/club/group plus their parents and their children (aged 11+)  are eligible to run for you
  • only runs/walks started and completed within the match dates will be accepted
  • your 5k must start and end at the same place OR have no more than 15m overall descent
  • time taken is your elapsed time, not your moving time
  • You can update your time if you run a faster 5k during your mob match – e-mail us at [email protected] if you need to do this

There are full details of the rules and the entered teams/groups here: Mob Match Rules & Instructions

Your team captains are permitted to amend eligibility rules in agreement with your opposing team’s captain so be sure you and your route are still eligible before you head out.

Please read the instructions before setting out on your attempt

Check and follow the current Government Covid-19 guidelines whilst running

  1. Apply social distancing to stay clear/give priority to pedestrians and people using public spaces.
  2. If not using the designated route consider using an online route plotter to work out your route. We favour Plot-a-Route https://www.plotaroute.com/routeplanner– it’s very  simple to use (other planners are available)
  3. Carefully select your route and consider elevations, distances, any access restrictions – you must only use Public Rights of Way, consider the effect of social distancing on your planned route (canal towpaths etc) and the period of time you will be exercising. Try to avoid popular running/walking routes or busy parks
  4. Consider the weather on the day of your run and dress accordingly
    If you are feeling unwell or have any medical conditions that could be affected by taking part in the challenge, wait until you are better before attempting the challenge.
    As per your normal run/walks there is no first aid cover for this challenge. If you don’t normally do so, please consider informing someone of where you are going and to check in with them on your return. Also, if possible, carry an ICE (in case of emergency) card with your details.
    The challenge is run under UKA rules which should be followed by all participants
