All new for Autumn 2019! SE Fitness Grand Prix Mini Series!! Could you be the next winner?
Wanted to encourage more SE Runners (and Walkers) to join in. Less about speed and more about taking part. Hope you will use the Grand Prix to inspire you and motivate you this autumn. You might be entering your first event, taking on more than one 5K and aiming to improve or just going for something new.
The Winners will be those with the most points and will be announced at the Christmas Party. Men and Women competitions separate.
See list of events below. We have kept some of the old favourites but also added some new ones. Range of distances and type of events from 5K to ‘Any Half Marathon’ and mix of road or trail. Points also on offer for helping out / volunteering.
Come and join in and it could be you lifting the trophy at the Christmas Party!
