Power of 10
As a UKA member your race results are also recorded through the Power of 10 service and your overall performance is ranked against every other registered runner in the country, including Mo Farah!
The rankings for all registered Lymm Runners can be viewed at The Power of 10 website: enter Lymm Runners in the Club field, then click Lookup.
London Marathon
In addition to the discounts and rankings service, registering with EA also gives club members a better chance of taking part in the London Marathon. All affiliated athletics clubs can apply to EA for London Marathon places based on the number of members over 18 who are EA/UKA registered. After the London Marathon ballot results are announced in October, any Lymm Runners who’ve been unsuccessful may be eligible to enter our Club Ballot.
