How the Grand Prix works
Fully paid-up members of Farnham Runners can accumulate Grand Prix points by running in races nominated by the club during a season (January through December).
Points are allocated depending on your finishing position in a race relative to other participating Farnham Runners:
- 1st Farnham Runner - 25 points
- 2nd Farnham Runner - 24 points
- 3rd Farnham Runner - 23 points ... and so on.
There are separate Grand Prix tables for men and ladies and at the end of the season 'points mean prizes'!!!. The top 5 men and ladies receive voucher prizes from £5 to £25.
In addition the number of Grand Prix events participated in during the season is taken into account when allocating the Farnham Runners places in the next years London Marathon to those members whose applications have been rejected.
Races include:
- Today's Runner Cross Country League (TRXCL) races
- Hampshire Cross Country League (HXCL) races
- Hampshire Road Race League (HRRL) races
