Parkrun Challenge Cup

A friendly knock-out tournament where you’ll be are drawn against another member in a head-to-head competition at Folkestone parkrun.

You score based on your own improvement, so runners of all abilities can compete against each other.

There are two competitions, A-cup and the B-cup, if you get knocked out of the A cup in the first round, you’ll automatically move to the B cup for a second chance.

Rules

In each round, runners will be paired against another with both racing against their own personal target; whomever scores higher proceeds.

Scoring

A runner whose target parkrun time is 30:00 completes their race in 28:50 (5% faster): Their score is 105

A runner whose target parkrun time is 22:00 completes their race in 23:10 (5% slower): Their score is 95.

If these runners were paired against each other, the runner who finished in 28:50 would advance.
