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:

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:

2007 season - winners and runners up

Full results for the 2007 season are posted in the club pages.
