Wicked Grand Prix Series

Welcome, everyone, to the rebooted 

Wicked Grand Prix, 2020 Edition!

What is it?

The Wicked Grand Prix  is our annual club series of 10 races curated for a variety of courses, distances, and terrains. The series is a fun way to grow as a runner, achieve awesome goals, earn special awards and swag, meet one another, and create lasting friendships. 

We encourage all members of all abilities to run as many events as possible. And don’t forget to wear your Wicked Red…it’s a great way to get photos and your own rabid cheering section!

How it works

1. 1. Tell us you’re in. To the best of our ability, you’ll be automatically scored if we see you in results, but the only way to ensure scoring is to email wickedgrandprix@gmail.com that you’re participating in the series. Doing it now gets  you on the official roster.
   2. Run and get an official result. Run and get a ranked standing in the official race results to earn points. Every Wicked finisher earns 10 points per race, AND 1 point for every other Wicked runner they finish ahead of. (Ex. If 12 Wickeds run a race, and you come in 4th, you earn 10 AND 8 = 18 points)

• Report in. This year, we will ask you to notify us of your finish in each event by emailing wickedgrandprix@gmail.com with “Raced” in the subject line. (We’ll do our best to scan the results anyway, but to ensure credit, send the email.) After each race, we’ll update a google doc scoreboard for both individuals and team (more on that below) standings

1. Iron Runners. If you complete ALL races in the series, you will officially be recognized as an Iron Runner and receive a coveted, special edition and personalized 1/4 zip Wicked sweatshirt. 
2. Prizes. All runners who finish  (5) events earn a limited edition Wicked hat by Nike
3. Awards. Trophies are given out at the Annual Banquet held in February for:
   • Female and Male Champions
   • Top 3 finishers for Female and Male in Youth Open (19 and under), Open (20-29), Sub Master (30-39), Master (40-49), Senior (50-59), and Veteran (60+).  
   • Note, to be eligible for an Award, you must finish at least 5 events
