From 2008 Pete Bland Sports has agreed to sponsor the LCT, which is now in its 7th year, for three years. This is the first time the LCT has had a dedicated sponsor.
The LCT organisers have previously restricted awards to the three Perpetual Trophies (First Man, Woman,Team) and awarded 12 Bentham Mugs to:
Men (in 2007 77 men completed)
First 3
V40
V50
V60
Highest scorer in all 6 races
Women (in 2007 7 women completed)
First 2
V40
V50
Team
High scoring members (either sex).
Twelve mugs has been sufficient because the LCT does not award two mugs to the same runner and eg no V60 women has ever completed the LCT.
However for 2008 to recognise the sponsorship of PBS the organisers are considering extending the number of awards so if anyone has any ideas the organisers (who have been thinking themselves) would be pleased to hear of them.
