* For the naked run, please provide Stef Ransley with your estimated finish time by Wednesday 18th January. Please ensure that you do not wear a timing device whilst participating in this event.
Your four best results will count for your final score and the winner 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 two of the events the scoring is based on finish position. The faster you are the better your score. For three events the scoring will be based on Age Grading. The higher the percentage the better your finish place. For the ‘naked’ event the scoring will be based on the closest finishing time to the one predicted in advance.
If a parkrun in the series is cancelled an alternate date will be scheduled during March.
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 (token, wristband or phone) 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 a small number of locations. Car sharing is encouraged.

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 – whether you like to run, walk or volunteer at one of the events
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 caused by various changes to their calendar. 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 parkrun Summer Series had its inaugural events in the Summer of 2019.
