Grand Prix League 1:
Today’s Runner Cross Country (TRXCL)

Summary

This Grand Prix aims to encourage maximum participation in a nominated club league for all abilities. With six to seven (approximately) 5 mile races in this league there are enough events to challenge the competitive hard core but not too many to discourage beginners.

All races are between 4.75 and 5.25 miles on cross-country terrain. We already compete in this league so many will be familiar with the events and courses.

Rules

  1. The races in this league correspond to the TRXCL official calendar. As of 2012, there are 7 or 8 (* depending on if Liss Runners have an extra event) races.
  2. Each race has a points structure to award points to go towards members total score:
    - 1st Farnham Runner home – 30 points
    - 2nd Farnham Runner home – 29 points and so on….
  3. All races carry points towards the total Grand Prix League score.
  4. The top 8 scorers in each gender category receive a graded engraved trophy, presented to them en masse at the Annual Awards Dinner.
  5. Members that participate in all the events in the calendar receive a Farnham Runners 2012 technical Cross Country sponsored T-shirt.
