A certificate is presented to each runner for each of the 6 distances, once they achieve the Bronze, Silver, Gold or Diamond standards for their age group for that event. Once the runner has achieved the Bronze, Silver, Gold or Diamond standard for 5 out of the 6 events, they are awarded a small trophy by the Club. They can then work towards achieving the next set of standards. When the runner moves up to their next age category, the slate is wiped clean and he/she works towards achieving the times, certificates and awards set out for this age group.

If the runner achieves a mixture of standards for the 5 events, he/she will be awarded a trophy for the lowest of these. For example, if the runner reaches Silver in 4 events and Gold in 1 event, they will receive a Silver trophy and can then train to bring the other 4 events up to the Gold standard in order to receive a Gold trophy.
