This is a series of races held during the year and results count towards the club championship. We choose races that are officially measured by UK Athletics and range in distance from 5 kilometres to 13 miles. Members who complete 6 out of 10 races qualify for a commemorative tee shirt at the end of the season. We expect all club runners to support these runs wherever possible. The Committee decide which races will be in the series at the beginning of our season and these only change if the chosen race is withdrawn at short notice.
The club often receives supplies of entry forms prior to a race and the Secretary will make these available, if received. Please note that it is your own responsibility to ensure that you enter races. Especially, please note that some races have limits on numbers or cut off dates so try to enter as early as possible. If you have to enter on the day, get to the venue early. The dates for 2010 series are as follows:
Alsager 5m Sunday 7th February Fradley 10k Sunday 14th March Stafford Half Marathon Sunday 21st March Timetrial 5k Wednesday 21st April Dog and Hedgehog Half Marathon Sunday 9th May Aldridge 10k Sunday 13th June Trentham 10m Sunday 18th July Timetrial 5k Wednesday 8th September Merrill Shelton 10K Sunday 10th October Flying Fox 10m Sunday 7th November
Other Races
Although the club has picked out the most appropriate races for the Grand Prix season to ensure quality of racing and a spread of distances, there are lots of other events that you might want to enter. If you find one that you do want to do, please mention it to other members or someone from the Committee and we’ll see if we can get a significant presence. The more races with LRC runners the better.
Team Events
We try to enter teams in Midlands Road Relays and the Birmingham Cross Country league. We also participate in multi terrain events such as the Shugborough Relays where we enter men’s, ladies, mixed and various Veteran classes.
