The runbritain handicap scoring system is a unique way of measuring your progress and comparing yourself with other runners.
As in golf, handicaps go from scratch (zero, or even slightly negative for elite runners) to 36 with increments of 0.1.
To compute your handicap we take a combination of your recent best performances but adjusted by the "SSS" which is our measure of the course difficulty and weather conditions on the day.
This means that you can improve your handicap at any race as on harder courses you won't need to run quite as quickly as on faster ones. See the Time to Improve Panel for more details.
The National Ladder position given here is your ranking out of all the road runners in the UK of your gender. They are just like the rankings in other sports like golf or tennis. See further down the page where you stand in your age group and out of everybody.

The national ladder positions are an indication of where you stand out of all the road runners in the UK. They are just like the rankings in other sports like golf or tennis.
The values given indicate your Overall position amongst everybody, your position among all Men or Women and (unless you are a senior) your position in your own Age Group.
There are also positions by the postcode "district" of the runner - e.g. the AB12 part of AB12 3CD. If you don't have any postcode rankings we probably don't know your postcode so please login and goto the Account section to enter it.
To compute all these positions, we order everybody's current runbritain Handicap. Updates to the ladder positions are made every week.
