Disciplines

We are affiliated to UK Athletics for the following: Road Running, Cross-country, Track and Field, Hill and Fell, Trail Running
We do not affiliate for Race Walking

Those RHAC members who participate in Fell races or in Multi-events (ie duathlon, triathlon) should enter as 'Rotherham HAC'
Individuals can compete in any open events as an RHAC member

The following is about team competition

Team results are sometimes calculated (especially in longer road events) from the order of finishing of club members and as an additional attraction
More often, County, Area and National Team Competition is organised on a wider scale and isused as (unofficial) club ranking
By 'county' we mean county of qualification (born in, or bona-fide resident in). For team events it's Yorkshire, due our location individuals may be for example Derbyshire or Nottinghamshire.
By 'area'we mean North of England, and 'National' may be England, UK or Britain.
In all competitions, athletes are usually pre-entered with a closing date
Teams are pre-selected on the day from the entries in Road but in most cross-country the 'team' is the best-placed finishers of the pre-entered athletes
Track and Field club competition is held through meetings in a league structure (whilst individual championships may well be a one-off specific meeting)

(Unofficial) ranking of clubs

On road is traditionally based on road relays (see menu)
In cross-country has traditionally been through mass-entry races (eg National Cross-country) but in recent years cross-country relays have gained a high profile
In track and field through the league results
