Over the course of a year from January to December
every member has the opportunity to aim and win the grand prix
cup. It is based on encouraging members to improve their own performance
and to attract new members.
Each member is given a handicap which is
calculated as the average minutes per mile based on their
performance for the previous year. This time is then calculated into
10K, 10 Mile and half marathon times. If that member then beats the
predicted time. One point is awarded per minute time difference
between actual and predicted time and two points for completing a
grand prix race.
There are 12 grand prix races throughout the year 4
half marathons, 4 x 10 Miles and 4 x 10k. The winner is the
athlete with the most points regardless of how many races in one season.
The current races are listed below in a table. Click the link for the current season to check out current handicaps.
