Benfleet Grand Prix

This year we are hosting two variants of our annual Benfleet Grand Prix: Roads and Trails.

What is it?

Each of the Grand Prix series follows the same premise: a series of races held across the year, in a variety of different distances ranging from 5km to Half Marathon! These are internal club competitions to encourage a little bit of friendly competition, and to get us down to local races in our red and white, representing the club.

When members complete the qualifying races, they’ll earn points which will be totted up after each event. A updated version of the league table will be posted on the notice board in the club house, and the final standings will be announced at the Christmas Part in December, with awards presented.

How is it scored?

Upon completion of the race, points will be awarded to each BRC competitor. Points are awarded based on your overall position in the event and based on the total number of the competitors in the race.

The score is calculated using the formula:

Example 1: 50th of 400: (1−50÷400)×100 = 87.5

Example 2: 18th of 275: (1−18÷275)×100 = 93.45

This turns the finisher’s relative position into a percentage score, indicating how many runners they’ve finished ahead of on the day.

The final Grand Prix score for each series will take the average score from the best three performances. The higher the average score, the better the place.

How do I get involved?

It’s simple, to get involved you just need to enter the event via the official event website and run! The results from the event will be checked and standings will be taken from there.
