How does a handicap run work? In a handicap, each runner is given a target time to complete the 5k in. This time is based on thatbrunners current form. Information from training and recent races will be used to calculate the target. Runners are then out in to a ranking order based on those target times with the slowest runner first. Each runner is then set off in that order with start times based on the handicap time given to each runner. If all runners complete the 5k in the target times given, they will all finish together! The winner of a 5k handicap race is the runner who beats their target time by the greatest margin.
Here are the final overall standings after the six races.
