Annual Awards

Awards Criteria

As part of Woodstock’s rich history, each year since… a long time ago…members have been eligible to win awards that are based on performances during the year. To be considered for some of the awards, members must have their runner results in the Woodstock Runners Results Database. The results that are considered for Awards are those within the date range 01 November (previous year) through to 31 October (current year).
