POWER OF 10 – Is still offline after being taken down on 17 January. This is statement that is currently on the UKA/British athletics website

The Power of 10, the UK’s most popular athletics rankings and results website, is taking a break for a couple of weeks, and will be temporarily offline as it completes its transition to a brand-new digital platform.
This short pause is a planned and essential part of finalising the move to the new website. No results or athlete data will be lost during this period. Performances will continue to be collected and securely collated while the site is offline and will be fully visible once the new platform goes live later this month. Its sister site www.runbritainrankings.com will also go offline for the same period.
When The Power of 10 returns, users can expect a fresh new look alongside improved functionality and performance, delivered through a more robust platform designed to support the sport long-term. The site will retain the features and depth of data that athletes, coaches, officials and fans know and value, while also introducing a number of enhancements aimed at improving the overall user experience.
In addition, the data and functionality of the runbritainrankings site will be integrated into The Power of 10 creating an exciting one-stop-shop for athletics and running in the UK.
Darren Bennett, CEO of The Power of 10, said: “A huge amount of work has been taking place behind the scenes throughout the year, and we’re now in the final stages of moving to our new platform. The site will be back online very soon with everything users know and love, alongside a number of added extras. And it won’t stop there — once we’re live, we’ll continue to build and evolve the site, adding further functionality over time to make The Power of 10 even better for the athletics community.”

The Power of 10 would like to thank users for their patience and support during this transition. Further updates, including confirmation of the relaunch date, will be shared soon.

Keep an eye on our Power of 10 channels for updates and highlights throughout the indoor season!

This is the statement on England Athletics on the changes PO10 are making to their rankings section, to incorporate the age-group changes from the 1 April, which are the U11, U13, U15,and U17 age-groups change to U12, U14, U16 and U18 age-groups.

Records and Rankings Changes To The PO10:
U12 and U10 athletes will have profiles but will not appear in ranking lists.
Historical ranking lists for the current age groups will be retained.
All time lists for the current age groups will be retained up to 1 April 2026.
From 1 April 2026 new ranking lists will be published for the new age groups.
All time lists for the new age groups will be published from 1 April 2026.

Competition providers and/or other bodies may include historical best performances in the new age group all time lists if they so wish. The competition provider, club or Association will have the ability to determine their own stance on record keeping based on their own individual need.

THE FIRST LONG SERVICE MEETING OF THE YEAR – Some of the longer serving members of Shaftesbury Barnet Harriers had a small get together in the Essex Arms in Watford on 21 January. PHILIP CUNNINGHAM said it was great to catch up with TONY SUNDERLAND and BRYAN SMITH who both joined SBH on 10th May 1954 – 71 years ago. Only BRENDA ATKINSON has been a member longer (1951). Others present were ROGER SIMONS (1958), GEOFF MORPHITIS (1964), DAVE BEDFORD (1964), MARTIN GREY (1967), PHILIP CUNNINGHAM (1973) and JOHN KELLY (1979).

It was good to reminisce on many topics – some of JOYCES (JOYCE SMITH) wins (particularly when women could only run 800m), BRYAN organising numerous prestige events, trying to guess how many points NEVILLE THOMPSON won in the BAL (bet few if anyone in the country has won more), MARTINS short dalliance with TVH, DAVE saying he was SBH Club Champion in the High Jump as a young athlete (he was the only competitor) and what TONY eats to keep looking so young! It was also an informal occasion to thank GEOFF for the input he has made to SBH over the last 50 odd years – it would be easier to list what he hasn’t done rather than what he has done for the Club!

UPCOMING INDOOR SEASON, COMBINED SBH CLUB RECORDS – With the Indoor season almost upon us, these are the 3 indoor club record documents updated on 23 July 2025, and shows changes in RED from the previous issue of the 14 June 2025 – E SBH Club Indoor Track Records For All Men Age Groups Updated 29-10-25 F Club Indoor Field Records For All Men Age-Groups Updated 29-10-25 G SBH Club Indoor Track And Field Records For All Women Age Groups Updated 29-10-25

STONEX STADIUM MEMBERSHIP – To use the StoneX Stadium facilities for training, SBH members are required to pay a fee. You can register as a member (which is free) which then entitles you to a discount. This is the link to the form to apply for membership – SBH StoneX Membership 24-07-25
EMMA GOUGE who is the Stadium Athletics and SBH Co-Ordinator had advised me that any athletes coming outside the usual Tuesday and Thursday that they can tap and go with the sum up machine in West reception or scan the QR code, which they will find on the pedestrian gate on entry. We would remind you that athletes should not come through the clubhuse without paying the entry fee. This gets picked up, not only by other athletes that pay, and find it very frustrating and unfair, but also by Saracens security system which can result in a fine, and a ban from using the facility.

SHAFTESBURY BARNET HARRIERS SUBSCRIPTIONS – The current SBH annual subscription is £90 (following the 2025 SBH AGM) and the current England Athletics annual registration from 1 April 2025 is £20. The current total is £110 and you will be advised via the SBH Membermojo system, when your subscription and EA fees are due for payment.
For new members there is also a charge for Club Kit which is £45, giving an overall total of £155.

RESULTS
Just to clarify, that the results I publish can be different to those that are shown on the Power of 10. The differences relate to seasons and personal best performances, as certain Indoor and Outdoor performances/times are totally different for some type of events. The same applies to our Master athletes, as on the Power of 10 any season and personal best performances relate to when they become Masters (35+), I show their performances based on their current 5 year age-groups.

EMMA GOUGE who is the Stadium Athletics and SBH Co-Ordinator had advised me that any athletes coming outside the usual Tuesday and Thursday that they can tap and go with the sum up machine in West reception or scan the QR code, which they will find on the pedestrian gate on entry. We would remind you that athletes should not come through the clubhuse without paying the entry fee. This gets picked up, not only by other athletes that pay, and find it very frustrating and unfair, but also by Saracens security system which can result in a fine, and a ban from using the facility.
