Grand Prix Series 2025
This year’s Grand Prix will run for the calendar year, with the prizes being awarded at the Club dinner the following March. As last year 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.
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 and an extra 5 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 Sedgefield Harriers | 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.
