Summer Race Series

Join us for an exciting five-race series held across the summer months. Whether you're a seasoned runner or a rising junior talent, this series offers something for everyone: competitive racing, great prizes, and a warm, inclusive atmosphere.

 

How the Series Works

• The series consists of five events, with points awarded based on overall race finishing positions, not age group rankings.
  Example: A Vet 40 runner finishing 89th overall but 2nd in their age group will score 89 points.

• Best three results count towards the final series standings.

• In the event of a clash in prize eligibility, the higher value prize will be awarded.
  Example: A Lady Vet 40 finishing as first woman overall will receive the First Overall prize rather than the LV40 award.

• Athletes who outperform a younger age category may be awarded that prize, allowing others in their original age group to move up into a scoring position.

• All participants who complete at least three races will receive a Peterborough 5K GP Series T-shirt to commemorate their achievement.
