Grand Prix rules
-
Points are awarded on completion of a race - 5 points for 1st home, down to 1 pt for 5th place and/or finishing
-
For every 3 races where a runner scores 1 point, an additional 5 bonus points are awarded
-
6 races must be completed throughout the season to qualify, including one half marathon
-
Any marathon run also counts as 5 points - only one per runner is awarded points

The list of qualifying races set out at the start of the year are found below. Any race that is cancelled will be replaced by a race in the same distance category (where possible);
-
Top 12 scores (or less if 12 races not completed) added together to produce final year total for each runner
-
Club vest must be worn to qualify, and registered as club member for results (assuming you have a vest of course! – speak to Ross Bickerstaff if you don’t)
