Saturday 14 December Saturday 28 December Saturday 11 January Saturday 25 January Saturday 15 February Saturday 29 February |
Worthing Preston Park (Age Graded run) Littlehampton (Naked Run – no stopwatch or GPS) Peacehaven Brighton & Hove (Age Graded Run) Lancing Beach Green |
* For the naked run, please provide Stef Ransley with your estimated finish time by Wednesday 8th January. Please ensure that you do not wear a GPS device whilst participating in this event.
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. and 30 points for a non-runner (assuming less than 30 participate). For three of 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 March.
Runners are invited to take part in their club vest and if their parkrun registration is with another club, to let Stef Ransley know that they have taken part, so that she can look out for you in 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 Littlehampton, Lancing Beach Green and Worthing (all depending where you park).

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 has its inaugural events in the Summer of 2019.
