“What is the The Grand Prix?”

The Grand Prix is a friendly competition open to all current Utica Roadrunners Club members (with annual dues for 2010 paid by 3/31/10). Members receive points for each Grand Prix race they complete based on their order of finish among club members competing in the same age group.  It’s a fun way to encourage members to participate in more local races and to keep training throughout the racing season. At the end of the season, the points are tallied up and the Grand Prix awards are presented at the club’s annual awards banquet.
