Awarding

Prizes will all be awarded in the Bath Rugby Club once input and verification of results has been completed.  We hope that as many of you as possible will make it to the finish of Stage 10 to welcome the end of the race, and to the Rugby Club bar afterwards for our teamly celebration.

 

Kings of the Cotswolds

This prize is awarded to those who have competed in all 10 stages of the Cotswold Way Relay in differing years. Our first winner was one of our most long term event supporters:

*Paul Chadwick was the first to complete the course in sequential stages, starting with Stage 1, through to his grand stylish finish with Stage 10.

 

When Terry King completed in 2004, he had used the old route for Stage 9 in year 2000 down the Monarch Way. He was good enough to go back and run the new Stage 9 in 2005!

Team Prizes

As usual, team prizes will be awarded to the winning team in each category. So, its…

Senior Men

Ladies

Male Vets

Mixed (remember – 3 ladies required (non-runners may be considered ladies))

We stick to the long-standing tradition of awarding the yellow jersey (well, t-shirt) to winning teams.

 

Stage Prizes

The prizes are awarded strongly reflect the proportions of runners entering. Stage Prizes will be awarded as follows:

1st  Male:         £25 Sweatshop voucher

2nd Male:         £20 Sweatshop voucher

1st Lady:          £25 Sweatshop voucher

 

Additionally, the Race Directors will award 5 discretionary prizes of £20 Sweatshop vouchers to those runners whose performance warranted special recognition. In particular, we will be looking for outstanding performance by Vets, whether male or female, whether Vet 40, Vet 50 or Vet 60. All Team Captains are warmly invited to approach organisers on the day to make recommendations for these prizes.

 

Stage and Race Records

We have a full record of these over the years, however the course does vary as route improvements are introduced. Generally, if the stage is made longer by modifications, former records do not stand unless there is only a small difference in distance and a large difference in record time. If the stage becomes shorter, former records will stand.

 

Full race records will stand regardless of modifications, as the overall length is probably about the same over the years, and the time differences between standings is normally quite large.

 

T-Shirts

As usual, event t-shirts will be for sale during the course of the day. This year we feature The Market House at Dursley, which you pass on the end of Stage 6. Click HERE for a preview of the design. The t-shirt is in black with white printing.

 

The t-shirts are part of a rolling collection documenting differing features of the course over the years. Since 2003, this has covered:

2003                 Broadway Tower (Stage 1)

2004                 Mileage Stone, Chipping Campden (Stage 1)

2005                 The Market Hall, Chipping Campden (Stage 1)

2006                 Bath Abbey (Stage 10)

2007                 Mileage Stone, Jenkins Farm (Stage 5)

2008                 The Market House, Dursley (Stage 6)
