Park Run Grand Prix
Season 2 - 2024
Last year we ran our first Park Run Grand Prix. This pitted members against each other over a series of Park Run events, using their age-graded times to level the playing field! Due to the success of this, we've brought it back for a second year!
Here's how it works!
Here's how it works!
You must be a member of our club take part in the Grand Prix (but please bring other runners with you if they would like to visit other Parkruns).
Your must do at least 6 of the 10 Parkrun events.
If you do 7, 8 or 9, your best 6 results from the 10 events will be used to determine your place in the competition.
NEW RULE - you must get at least one Parkrun volunteer credit between the dates of the first and last Grand Prix event - this can be at any Parkrun at any time between 6th April and 16th November 2024.
If you can’t take part on the scheduled date, you can still run an event on the week before and it will count, but not the week after (this is to avoid highly competitive people waiting to see what others in the competition achieve, before deciding how hard to run!)
We encourage you to wear your club vest or a Parkrun milestone t-shirt.
Please travel together if you can, to save on fuel costs and reduce the impact on the environment and please try and stay for coffee and cake afterwards, if you have time. This will be especially important for the Brixworth and Belvoir events which are a bit further away than the others.
All the events offer a café for post Parkrun rehydration, toilets and accessible parking (there is a charge for parking in some places - please refer to the Parkrun website for details).
