BvH 2010 Grand Prix Series Update

The BvH GP has provided healthy competition to club members over a range of distances, events and surfaces.  With just 6 events to go in the 2010 Bournville Harriers Grand Prix Series (BvH GP), the race to be this year’s champion in both Ladies and men is still wide open.

The remaining events are:

So far this year we’ve had 42 Ladies and 60 Men take part in a BvH GP event which has seen over 1300 additional bonus points being awarded mostly for personal best performances from almost all of the members who’ve taken part.

The aim of the BvH GP Series is to take part in at least 10 designated events to be in with a chance of winning one of the top prizes.  The total prize value is equivalent to over £700 and there are still potentially 36 members in with a chance of making it to the 10 events target.
