Grand Prix Series 2024

The plan for this year is to support other local clubs and get the Sedgefield vest seen at club races.

Therefore there are no entry requirements and everyone taking part will be automatically entered into the results.

There are separate league tables for male and female runners, with age related prizes, for example, Senior men/women, V35, V40, V45, V50, V55, V60, V65 in both men and women. I will also compile a U18 points table for any eligible races and a small prize for the most points.

When you enter a race you gain points for competing and also your final position in relation to other Sedgefield harriers. You score points for every race you complete, but are not expected to complete all of them, just giving you options! This year there are no extra points for volunteering but 5 extra points for any cross country completed.

For example,

1st Male/Female Sedgefield Harrier 10 points
2nd Male/Female 9
3rd 8
4th 7
5th 6
All other competing SHs 5 points each

I will try to keep track of the results but also make sure you let me know if I have missed anyone.

Don’t forget you must run in your Sedgefield Harriers vests (club colours white with blue stripe) for all races or your result will not be entered.
