Inter Club Grand Prix

Every year, Red Rose Road Runners take part in a series of six races of between four and five miles with five other clubs from the Fylde and Preston areas. These races are held monthly from April to September and are free to enter. This is known as the Inter Club Grand Prix Road Series and the other participating clubs are:

• Blackpool, Wyre & Fylde AC
• Chorley
• Lytham St. Annes RR
• Preston Harries
• Wesham RR

All Red Rose Road Runners members are eligible to run in these races, you just turn up at the start and run. Club kit must be worn (you are reminded that all members are required to wear a club vest, short or long sleeve top in all competitions). There is no pre-race registration, but at the end of the race you will be given a card with your race position which you need to complete and place in the Red Rose Road Runners box.

The races are for all club members (with Guests allowed. Guest runners should seek permission from the host Race Director to compete, must be UKA registered and not be unattached.) and are run in a spirit of fun, as well as being quite competitive.

After each race, there is usually a buffet provided which is free.
