For each race the fastest female and male club runners each score 30 points, the second fastest 29 points, the third fastest 28, and so on.

For runners of the same gender who both finish with the same time in a given race, they will both be allocated the same number of points.

The runner must be a fully paid up member of the club on the day before the event takes place for their finishing position to be entitled to be allocated points.

The final score for each runner is calculated by adding together their best 8 results.
If two runners have the same number of points, the order will be determined by the runner with the most number of first places, or if they have the same number the most number of second places etc.

If an event is cancelled, or scheduled from its original date, then it will be dropped from the ECC.

Runners are responsible for adding their own marathon and parkrun times using the self-service system.

Prizes are presented at the club dinner for the following categories:

• First seniors
• First vets over 40
• first vets over 50
• Any runner completing 8 or more races
