Club Championship
For the first few years the championship was an annual award and included the Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter races together with one 12 Minute Test. Later it was split into separate Spring/Summer (S/S) and Autumn/Winter (A/W) championships, with a 12 Minute Test at the end of each. To compete in the championship runners have to take part in eight events from the fixture list, one of which must be the 12 Minute Test. An age-related scoring system applies in all events. The 12 Minute Test has been used for over thirty years. It was first used at Swinton Running Club, founded by Eddie Cheetham. Eddie was coach at Swinton for many years before founding Belle Vue Racers.
