The 2012 version of the Wicked Grand Prix Series has been determined! There are some exciting changes this year that we hope leads to greater participation than previous years. The Grand Prix Series is an internal club series where members compete against each other at events chosen by the Board of Directors annually. The purpose of the series is to increase member participation in the club, have fun, and provide opportunities for members to get together at races in the local area.
The races were chosen to represent a wide range of distances at different locales throughout the area. The distances vary from 1 mile to a 1/2 Marathon, enough to satisfy any runner. There are a total of 11 races in the series, 8 regular and 3 relays. We have estimated dates for events not posted yet. T.R. Ramsdell and Rich Tabbut are returning this year as race co-coordinators after a successful series in 2011. Also returning this year are both the Individual Grand Prix series and the Team Grand Prix series. The purpose of the team series is to ensure that all runners, regardless of ability, can compete against each other in a team format. Please feel free to email T.R.and Rich with questions, comments or suggestions!
