During the summer we run a series of handicap runs. These are held on the last Thursday of June, July and August from Finchampstead Sports Club. We start by St James Church and complete a loop of just over 2 miles with runners starting time handicapped to get everyone finishing together. The aim is to try and improve your handicap over time or to finish as close to your handicap as possible. Prizes are awarded at the end of the series for the fastest overall handicap, biggest improvement in handicap and the closest to handicap over the 3 races. The final handicap in August is followed by a barbecue with family welcome to attend.
