About the Grand Prix

The GP is a series of races, one each month, where points are awarded to the finishers once age grading has been applied. Each runner's best 7 race results go towards a final total with an overall winner.

The GP's are about more than points though, as a club it is great to see our club shirts out in force at a race, it does get noticed, also there is great camaraderie amongst the members running, you can test yourself by beating your club rivals. If you set a pb you will feel a great sense of achievement as well, and if your training is going well these are great races to target for, and use as a goal. We try to vary the distances from 5k to half marathon. Also we sometimes have a social drink to celebrate afterwards.
