2011 INDIVIDUAL MEDALS

Individual medals (prototypes shown above) will be awarded to the first 3 outright place getters, male and female, in each event. (5km, 10km and Half Marathon). Medals will also be awarded to the male and female first place getters in the following categories:

5km   Under 17 and Open

10 km  Under 17, !8 to 39 (Open), 40 to 49 (Veteran), 50+ (Super Veteran)

21.1 km  Open (up to 39), 40 to 49 (Veteran), 50+ (Super Veteran)

After some friendly chats and the hurling of a few insults between Mornington Peninsula Athletic Club and Mornington Peninsula Tri Club a system of deciding which club maintains running supremacy has been developed. Other clubs and organizations are warmly invited to join in the challenge.

In the Club Challenge calculations there are only two age groups. U/17 and 17 or over. You accumulate points for your club in one of those categories - not both. (This differs from the medal categories on offer where it is possible to pick up a medal for say winning your age group and for coming 1st-3rd overall.)

Points will be awarded in each of those categories. 10 points for first, 9 points for second, 8 points for 3rd, 7 points for 4th, 6 points for 5th, 5points for 6th, 4 points for 7th, 3 points for 8th, 2 points for 9th, and 1 point for each finisher thereafter in that category.

The club with the highest accumulation of points under this system wins.

Collating the results for the Club Challenge is unlikely to be possible on the day and will have to be announced during the week following the Devilbend Half Marathon.

A full transcript of results will be provided to rival clubs so they can identify what club members are theirs. Members must be current members at the date of the race.

The 2010 Inter-Club Challenge was won by MPAC with MPTC receiving the ceremonial wooden spoon.
