Information and rules for the 2025/26 Summer League:

The Summer League takes place between April 2025 and September 2025, and consists of ten designated races with varying distances and terrains. The competition is open to all first claim members who compete in these designated races and who have paid their membership fees in full. There will be separate identical competitions for men and for women.

  • The Summer League has 10 races of varying distances.
  • Participant’s best 5 results will count towards their total.
  • Points will be awarded from 100 (for 1st place within a league) to 1 (for 99th place and below).
  • The highest total score will win.
  • If two or more members have scored an equal number of points at the end of the season, final positions will be determined on all head-to-head race results (not just best 5). If these are equal, positions will be tied for the overall result.
  • Only participants who are members at the end of the year (31 March 2026) will be eligible for awards. With this as with all other matters the decision of the committee will be final.
The Summer League Guidelines

All races are local and where practicable a tie in with races organised by other Leeds based running clubs will be sought. When entering races please indicate that you are a Hyde Park Harriers club member.

Please wear your club colours at designated races.  If you do not wear your vest/shirt you may not get any points.

The club is affiliated to UKA therefore we are obliged to follow their rules with regard to transfer of race numbers. If a member gives their number to someone else without using the official transfer system then they may be disqualified from all club competitions in that year. Members should be aware that some race organisers have no system for the transfer of race numbers.
