NIMRA WINTER LEAGUE 2024-25
NIMRA members in the recent members opinion survey asked about a Winter League. NIMRA at short notice have worked with running clubs with existing races planned to arrange a Pilot Winter League, which commences on 7th December 2024.
The races are:
• Run4Rescue – NIMRA (Saturday 7th December 2024)
• Turkey Trot – BARF (Thursday 26th December 2024) – Entry TBC
• Race over the Glens – Ballymena Runners (Wednesday 1st January – New Years Day 2025)
• Drum Manor 10K – Sperrin Harriers Winter Series race (Saturday 11th January 2025)
• Parkanaur 5K– Sperrin Harriers Winter Series race (Saturday 22nd February 2025)
NIMRA members are to compete in 3 out of the 5 races to be considered part of the championship.
All NIMRA Winter league competitors are to be NIMRA members throughout (note: the 2025 membership opens in January.
Fastest NIMRA member home in each race (Male/ Open and Female) gets 1 point, 2nd fastest gets 2 points and so on. The NIMRA member with the least number of points after the final race (remember 3 out of the 5 count) will be the NIMRA Winter League champion.
A NIMRA Winter League trophy will be awarded to the First Male/ Open and to First Female winner. There will be prizes for 1st/ 2nd and 3rd place Male/ Open and Female but there are no category prizes this time around.
Entry to the races is online. Follow the link to the race page. Finally, for now if any member isn’t racing but is free to marshal/ assist with registration or help in some capacity please contact the club to see if they have any specific help needs. Sperrin Harriers in particular could do with some additional marshals.
