Anyone can take part in the Grand Prix Series; members of clubs affiliated to Athletics Norfolk, members of clubs not affiliated to Athletics Norfolk, unattached runners - all are welcome. You don't even need to live in Norfolk - just enter the Grand Prix races in the normal way and then look out for your name in the Series standings ...
Ages are as at 31 December 2018 with masters in five year age groups from 40 to 65+.
At every GP race the winner in each age group scores 100 GP points, second place scores 99 GP points and so on.
The final standings will aggregate your best eight performances from any of the eleven GP races in this year's Series.
If you don't manage to complete the minimum of eight races you will still count in the final standings but it's clearly a good idea to do as many as possible.
At the end of each season the Series awards will be presented at the Night of Celebrations - details to follow.
