Hi Harriers
Liam fought the Law and the Law won
Another genuine road race on a pretty flat course attracted a massive 35 Harriers in perfect end of summer conditions in Larkfield last Sunday. Plenty of individual and team silverware was won by the deckchairs.

With at least 6 races needed to win and only 1 more race to go, the race for the trophy is down to a select few.
Only Dave Weston and myself look to have any chance of catching 2022 trophy winner, Ali Farrall (assuming she can get/stay fit).
Full results are attached.
The remaining events in the 2023 Grand Prix are:-
Oct 1st – Sittingbourne 10 miles – https://www.sportingeventsuk.
It’s time to commit. 
The club road Grand Prix Trophy is designed to encourage Harriers to race more often, and on equal terms with all other members as the results are adjusted for age and gender. Each race of the ten Kent Grand Prix series counts towards our club road grand prix with a percentage result based on finishing time, age and gender. This percentage is calculated according to the 2015 WAVA scale. The winner is the runner with the best score at the end of the season, that is the average of their best six percentages over the series.
Age graded Percentage guidelines:-
100% Approximate world record level
Above 90% World Class Level
Above 80% National Class Level
Above 70% Regional Class Level
Above 60% Local Class Level
