Winter Handicap
The Ladies' Trophy.
The Winter Handicap is a competition for Club Members which creates a level playing field
for runners to compete over the cross country season.
A runner's handicap is used to compare their time to the winning Mid Lancs runner.
Runners are then awarded a score for all the Cross Country races they compete in, and their best four used to calculate a final score.
Handicaps may be adjusted during the season if necessary.
The latest Winter Handicap scores are below and will be updated throughout the season.
