The results published by each parkrun location will be used to collate the series results. Any queries with your finish time or position should be sent to the parkrun team at that location for resolution. Your four best results will count for your final score and the winners of both the men’s and women’s categories will receive a trophy.
The scoring system is simple; one point for the first, two for second etc. If you are a non-runner at any event your score will be the total number of participants in the series plus 5 (for example: 20 female participants make a non-run score of 25).
For three of the events the scoring is based on first receiving one point etc. For two events the scoring will be based on the Age Grading percentage finishers receive in the parkrun results. The higher the percentage the better you finish place. For the ‘naked’ event the scoring will be based on the closest finishing time to the one guessed in advance. If a parkrun in the series is cancelled an alternate date will be scheduled during September.
Members are invited to take part in their club vest and must ensure their parkrun profile lists RAW as their club for the results.
Most importantly, when participating in events in this series please remember to take your barcode to each event. No barcode, No time, No result. It is your responsibility to remember your barcode.
Entries after the first event will not be accepted. You must be signed up by the date of the first event, even if you are unable to take part on that day.
Please note that all parkruns start at 9am. Paid for parking is in operation at most locations (all depending where you park). Please car share where possible.

Runners may use a visual or hearing guide if required.
The History of the RAW parkrun Series.
Originally launched in January 2017 by Portslade Hedgehoppers, the Hedgehoppers parkrun Grand Prix Series is to open to both runners and walkers at the club and follows the parkrun ethos of being open to all.
The series is based on eight parkrun events involving all of the Brighton ones, Lancing, Peacehaven and Worthing. All parkruns start at 9am.
The Hedgehoppers parkrun Grand Prix was developed from suggestions by members Bob Page (to mirror in some form Arena 80’s super series) and Roy Taylor (to fill in a long gap between West Sussex Fun Run League races in the first months of the year). The parkrun Grand Prix has developed into an annual competition enabling Hedgehoppers to meet up, run, and socialise at all the local parkruns.
Run Academy Worthing member Stef Ransley felt this was something that could be mirrored and offered to Run Academy members, tailored to the club itself.
The inaugural RAW parkrun Summer Series had its events in 2019. The 2020 summer series was hosted a ‘not parkrun’ series due to Lockdown, followed by a break in both Winter and Summer Series of 2021 due to restrictions.
