TWH 2025 Club Grand Prix Trophy – after 1 (of 10) events – Taylor made beginnings
Hi Harriers
22 Harriers competed on Sunday and put in solid early season performances.
Tara set out her stall early this year and looks like she will be hard to beat again in 2025 with a stinking 88%.
We had about 120 Harriers compete in one or more of these events in 2024 so make sure you get some in your 2025 diary.
Results for the Canterbury 10 Miler are as follows:-

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 five 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
