Club Trials Blog

Clubtrials is 6 years old ! Wow. Six years old where did the time go! For the last couple of years Clubtrials has been in constant use but has not received much attention in terms of site maintenance or addition of clubs. This is due to it being run as a part time activity and a lot of other things happening. I was prompted by the guys at Uptington Crusadars who had seen the sight and were keen to sign up. So welcome Upington Crusaders to Clubtrials ! To my surprise when I checked back on the Clubtrials emails I found a number of requests from other clubs ! It's great to know that the clubs are finding the site useful and that its spreading organically without any marketing. The running community is a very enthusiatic and positive group to which I am thankful to belong. The enthusiasm from the clubs has re-enthused me, so lets see where we can take Clubtrials next and please let me know if you are a club who is keen to be added to the site.

Welcome to Helderberg Harriers It's great to see the constant enthusiasm across the running community as new clubs add their results to Clubtrials.

This was in the days of the first big running boom and the Helderberg motto was that “anyone who wants to run, is welcome”, and this is still true today. The club is primarily based in the Hottentots-Holland basin, this approach of “all people interested in running are welcome” has caused people from all over the province to join, and the club still accepts any person that is interested in running/walking from all over Western Province.

Clubtrials keeps growing Clubtrials has come a long way since inception. With the support of some significant running clubs making use of the site to capture their weekly results the site is becoming increasingly popular.

The traditional approach to time trial results data has been to publish results once for a particular week and then archive the data.
