Men's Championship Race

Dewar3.jpg

The magnificent "Sir Thomas Dewar" Challenge Shield was presented to the South of Thames Cross Country Association in 1905 by the whiskey magnate Sir Thomas Dewar MP for annual competition.  The Championship race had already been held on sixteen occasions before this and miniature shields, bearing the names of the winning teams going back to 1888, were retrospectively engraved, and affixed. This tradition of affixing miniature shields was continued until there was no more room, a silver plate then being added added to the back of the shield, to show the winning teams.

 

The Shield is awarded to the club with the lowest total points scored for their first six runners to finish. Originally, the team entry was limited to eighteen names with a maximum of twelve allowed to run and six to score. Since the 1998 Championship there has been no upper limit on the number allowed to be entered or to compete, although a minimum of six names is required to constitute a valid team entry.

​

Presented by Sir Jeremiah Colman, The "Sir Jeremiah Colman" Cup has been awarded since 1926 to the club with the lowest total points scored for the first twelve athletes from that club to finish.  There is no record of the cup being awarded in 1939.

​

Presented by Mr. J. Gibbins in 1994, The President’s Trophy is awarded to the individual winner of the Championship race.

​

In 2004 the date of the Championship was switched from post-Christmas to December.
