Sorry, entry for the Thomas Cup has now closed.

The Thomas Cup is the first cross country handicap of the new season. It is started &#x27;off the mark&#x27;, that is to say the runners are given a handicap allowance dependent upon their ability, with the slowest runner going off first, and the remainder following at 10 second, or greater intervals. The fastest runner, the &#x27;scratch man&#x27; goes off last. If everyone runs to the form predicted by the handicapper, Simon Martin, then they should all finish together.
The winner receives the magnificent Thomas Cup, which is presented at the annual prizegiving, and is held by the recipient for one year. Medals are awarded to the second and third, and also to the three fastest men and three fastest women. 
The Thomas Cup was first run in 1891, having been presented to the Club by Sid Thomas in 1890, which he had won in a 10 mile race against E.W.Parry of Salford Harriers, the previous year.
