Each year we hold a
Grand Prix series of 10 races. Members are split into
'groups' according to ability.
Points are awarded in each race - 100pts for 1st 99 for 2nd etc. There is approximately 1 race per month.
Each race is held at a different location and organised by one of
our committee members.
We normally have a buffet & a few drinks after each race.
A best female performance and best male performance prize is
awarded for each race.
At the end of each year, the best 7 races for each runner count
towards their final 'group' position.
In our annual presentation night, prizes are awarded to the top 3
runners in each group.
Dates for our 2011/2012 Grand Prix Races will be announced soon.
Race 1
Sun Feb 19th Llanelli
10 Miles
Don't forget to get your
entries in for our first Grand Prix of 2012
The first Grand Prix of 2012 will take place on Sunday 19th
February.
It will be the inaugural Llanelli 10 mile run, an out and back run
from the Discovery Centre, North Dock, Llanelli, start time 10am.
Entry for the race is £10, however, the Club will subsidise this by
£5. Entry form can be printed from here - Llanelli 10Miler.pdf.
The
method for our club members to enter this is to either hand your
completed form with £5 to Dewi, Geoff or Pilot, or to send your
completed form to Dewi at 5 St Rhidian Dr., Killay, Swansea, SA2 7EL
and write the cheque for £5 payable to 3M Gorseinon RR (please make
sure you include your WA reg No.). Remember – no entries on the day.
The Race will start from the Discovery
Ctr at the North Dock - one loop round the North Dock itself before
re-joining the Coastal Path. Follow the Coastal Path towards Sandy
Water Park where you will be directed around the lake anti clockwise
before re-joing the main path at the Festival Fields. Follow the path
then all the way down to Burry Port Harbour - follow the path around
the harbour and then onto the footpath that runs alongside the by-pass
road to re-join the Coastal Path at the point we normally have the 10k
drinks station. Folllow the path then back past the Festival Fields to
the Discovery Ctr. You won't be doing another loop of the lake so it's
just a straight run back along the path from Burry Port to North Dock.
Details of all the Grand Prix races for 2012 will be advised soon,
though we can confirm that there will be a GP on the last Wednesday
monthly from March to September, with the only other `official` race
GP being the Swansea Bay 10k in September.

For 2012 we
will again be running an Age Grade version of the GP alongside our usual
one.
The normal top 3 places in each group will
continue to get prizes in the normal GP, but there will also be a
prize/prizes awarded in the Age Grade version.
