Detail on the winners
2016
2014
What are the criteria?
In making their decision, the awards sub-committee will take account of the following factors:
1) The athlete’s participation in the life of the club: in order to be considered for an award, the person should have done some of the following activities during the year:
- represented the club in events such as cross country (the Surrey League, Parkland Relays, Surrey/Southern Area/National cross country championships); MABAC; Surrey Road Relays
- helped at Windmiler events (e.g. the club 10k, the mile races, the club championships, the Windmiler-hosted round of the MABAC, Surrey Cross Country, the Womble Triathlon)
- spent time volunteering for the club - e.g. has been an active coach, has served in a management committee position, or has made a major contribution to organising a non-competition event for the club (e.g. Christmas Black Tie Event, Summer BBQ etc), or has managed a key operation of the club such as webmaster, kitmaster, etc.
(These criteria are the same as for the club marathon ballot.)
2) Performances where the athlete competed for Windmilers (not other clubs).
3) Award-winning performance need not be the fastest performance; alternatives could include (but are not limited to): age-grading; personal improvement; consistency over the year; general race performance.
Factors which are considered for specific awards are shown below.
Male athlete of the year
Should be awarded for a specific performance or series of performances across the year where consistently good times have been recorded or significant improvements have been seen. If a veteran wins this award, he is not also eligible for the male vet of the year award.
Female athlete of the year
Should be awarded for a specific performance or series of performances across the year where consistently good times have been recorded or significant improvements have been seen. If a veteran wins this award, she is not also eligible for the female vet of the year award.
Male veteran of the year (40+)
Should be awarded for a specific performance or series of performances across the year where consistently good times have been recorded or significant improvements have been seen.
Female veteran of the year (35+)
Should be awarded for a specific performance or series of performances across the year where consistently good times have been recorded or significant improvements have been seen.
Improver of the year
Awarded to a member who has improved considerably through the year and participated in the running life of the club. Performance over the longer term can be taken into consideration if thought appropriate (for example, looking at the previous year to check whether an athlete is simply coming back to their old form after a break or dip, or is making a sustained improvement). Consider time over distance (for example, improved times over 10km).
Marathon performance of the year (male)
Awarded on the basis of one outstanding marathon performance, or a number of performances by one individual. Performances in non-standard distance marathon-type races can be considered.
Marathon performance of the year (female)
Awarded on the basis of one outstanding marathon performance, or a number of performances by one individual. Performances in non-standard distance marathon-type races can be considered.
Extreme performance award (male)
To recognise a performance in a particularly challenging race or races (running or multisport). This award may not be presented if it is felt there had not been a performance that met the criteria during the year.
Extreme performance award (female)
To recognise a performance in a particularly challenging race or races (running or multisport). This award may not be presented if it is felt there had not been a performance that met the criteria during the year.
Multi sport performance (male)

Multi sport performance (female)

Multi sport improver of the year

Coach of the year
Awarded to a coach who has made a sustained and notable contribution to coaching at the club during the year. This award cannot be won by the same person in consecutive years.
Runner of the year
Should epitomise the spirit of the club and inspire members with their running. Examples might include regularly representing the club at cross country, three mile handicap.
