Kent Grand Prix

Details of the 2008 Kent Grand Prix are now available.

Runners finishing the Maidstone half-marathonWhat is the Kent Grand Prix?

The Kent Grand Prix is an annual series of ten races in which individuals and teams can win points, counting towards a end of season final ranking. The first four runners from each club accumulate points for their team and each runner gets individual points as well. The best six races count towards the end of season positions.

As a club, we will be targeting these races in 2008 and it would be great to see more people flying the TWH flag - it's good for the club and more fun to race with fellow clubmates.

Pencil the races in your diary and look out for entry forms and reminders closer to the time. If you want to know any more in the meantime, contact our Road race representative.
