Club Grand Prix
For those wanting some competition, we run a yearly "Grand Prix" league from February to November, this has four or five divisions, with promotion and relegation taking place at the end of the season. This competition has the effect of giving people a focus to aim their efforts towards, and is keenly contested right down to the last division. Prizes are awarded to the winners at one of our numerous social functions held during the year.
The Grand Prix comprises of 9 races spread across the region, with points being awarded for finishing position within each individual league. In the last few seasons, the Grand Prix has been contested over an equal spilt of three categories; 10k / 10m / 1/2m, to ensure that the winners of each division will be the best overall runners and not simply those who excel at one particular distance. There are 3 races in each category; with the scoring calculated from each individuals best six scores from the nine races, but with a maximum of two scores from each category.
