Handicap Runs

For those new to the handicap series and handicap runs, our free, time-handicapped fun runs are designed to equalize participants of different speeds. We host six events – one each month from November through April – that vary in distance, terrain, and location, and are usually hosted at someone’s house so we can enjoy a potluck afterwards.

What makes a handicap run different from an ordinary race is that participants are started based on their handicap time so that walkers and slower runners start first and faster runners start last. The idea is that everyone finishes around the same time - and the fastest person isn’t always the winner!

At each event, participants are awarded points based on their finish place; everyone receives at least five points for participating, hosting, or volunteering. At the end of the series, the person with the most points wins a free pair of shoes.

Distance is usually 3-4 miles, though longer courses are possible. Look for the occasional "specialty" event, too, such as a predicted-time run. 

*** If this is your first handicap run, please contact Shannon Zanelli at 505-822-5006 to let her know your normal 5K time (NOT your estimated time for the course) so your start time can be calculated.***

LAST SEASON

2012-2013 HANDICAP RUN SERIES

Thank you to Shannon Zanelli, handicap coordinator, to all the many volunteers who assisted her with timing and directing details, and to our wonderful event hosts for their generosity in opening their homes to our members, friends, and guests. You all make these events loads of fun with great courses...and great food!

HANDICAP SERIES WINNER:  Jackie Calguire

At the end of each 6-month series, we award a gift certificate for a free pair of shoes to the person who has accumulated the most points over the series. Jackie Calquire was the winner this series and she has a great story. Her first run back from a hamstring tear was the November handicap. She wasn’t sure she’d even be able to run that first event but she did and finished first. Since then, she has gotten stronger and has improved her times significantly. Only Stephen Malone was close to Jackie in the points standings and Stephen, too, has a great comeback story. He was recovering from knee surgery when he ran the November handicap and, like, Jackie, has only gotten stronger and faster over the last 6 months. Congratulations to both of them on a great handicap series!

We’ll see you all in November 2013!
