Curly45 Sep 2021 6:29pm, 28 Sep 2021 4,079 posts	0 Curly45 It's technically possible for a women to win two trophies at some of our clubs handicaps as they are old races. Women didn't run when they were set up, there is a winners trophy and a women's winners trophy (added later), but in 150+ years of being around its never actually happened. Changing the rules requires a change to our clubs constitution and just isn't worth the faff.

Sushi. Sep 2021 7:22pm, 28 Sep 2021 32,039 posts	0 Sushi. That’s good LMH but I’d feel a fraud taking the lower value prize if I was really the 2nd one back
Anna Bomb Sep 2021 10:31pm, 28 Sep 2021 2,306 posts	0 Anna Bomb Thank you everyone for your responses, feedback has been passed back to the RD. I have seen both these scenarios in previous races but generally only run ultras now so was wondering what the norm was for shorter races

Little Miss Happy Sep 2021 6:39am, 29 Sep 2021 4,992 posts	0 Little Miss Happy My experience of ultras is that there are no prizes at all Anna.
Anna Bomb Sep 2021 9:49pm, 29 Sep 2021 2,307 posts	0 Anna Bomb I never see the prize givings at ultras as I am normally a long way from the finish but have a friend who regularly wins trophies so they do exist

Wondering if any RDs can help me or any speedy vet runners who may have found themselves in this situation. If say a vet 40 runner also came in the top 3 of a race would they win both the top 3 prize and the vet 40 prize or just the top 3 prize with the vet 40 prize being allocated to the next eligible runner? TIA
