Colonial Road Runners
Grand Prix Series
Each year, 12 local races are designated as Colonial Road Runners Grand Prix races. Members who participate in the designated races are awarded points based on their order of finish among CRR members, broken down by gender and age groups. Points are totaled for the year and awards are presented to the top three participants in each age group at our annual banquet. Click on the individual races below for more information about that particular race.
Note: Races selected by the Grand Prix Committee could change without advance notice during the year if Race Directors cancel, alter dates or virtualize their event due to COVID or other reasons like weather, etc. All Grand Prix races will be in-person races, no virtual races will be included within the Grand Prix Series.
