🏁 JACKSONVILLE GRAND PRIX
📅 Various Dates
🕛 Various Times
📍 Jacksonville, FL
The Jacksonville Grand Prix is a series of Jacksonville’s best races. The series starts with the Seacoast Bank Celebration Run on July 4th and ends with the Run for the Pies in June. Runners accumulate points based on their performance in each event. Each race is scored independently. The series is scored in two halves (Fall and Spring). There will be 8-10 races in each half, but only the eight best scores will be counted in each half. Overall scoring will be determined by using age-graded performance factors (these factors are determined as a percentage of the current age record for each age based on information supplied by USA Track and Field). Age group points are based on scoring in the top ten of each age group.
Winners will be determined based on accumulating points for the top eight grand prix scores for each half.
If you finish ten of the races during the season, you will receive a custom designed glass mug.
The Jacksonville Grand Prix is a series of Jacksonville’s best road races. These races are top quality, established events. The courses are measured accurately. Each event offers race results to the finishers, and the events are conducted by groups or individuals that have experience and expertise in the field of road racing. As a participant in a Grand Prix event you can rest assured that you are running a worthwhile race.
Any runner can compete in the Jacksonville Grand Prix. You do not have to register to take part. All you have to do is run the events. 1st Place Sports will score each race to see if you have accumulated points in the series. The Grand Prix is designed to determine the top Jacksonville area runners, given the age differences. There are two ways to score points. First, in the overall competition based on age-graded performances and second, by finishing in the top ten in your age group. The age group and overall competition are scored separately. The scores are not combined!
Cash awards will be given to the top five overall finishers. It is important to note that in this scoring system, males and females are combined. The cash awards are as follows:
Prize money will not be awarded to anyone below the 20-24 age group unless they have completed their college eligibility.
Points will be awarded ten deep in each age group. After we have determined who the top five runners are for the cash awards we will determine an age-group champion in each of the age-groups as outlined in the rules section. Grand Prix awards will be given to the top three of each age group, but to qualify a runner must accumulate at least 200 points in either the first or second half of the season.
Each race has different cost depending on when you purchase your tickets. Starting April 12th, join the Jacksonville Grand Prix, and start planning your races today‼️
