The North Cheshire 5k Grand Prix is a series of 5 races organised by Spectrum Striders RC and Altrincham & District AC.

How to enter

Entry is by post.  An entry form will be available for download in advance of the next 5k series.

If you enter the whole 5-race series, there is a reduced entry fee of £20 (UKA club member) or £30 (unaffiliated).  This is a discount of £5 for the series, so you get 5 races for the price of 4.

There is a maximum of 150 entries to the whole series, although individual races can be entered up the the individual race limit.

The Dunham races usually reach their entry limit before race day and Bowdon also has a race limit.  Please enter early if you want to run the whole series, the Bowdon race or either of the Dunham Massey races.

Transfer Of Series Entries

If you are injured or find you cannot run, we will allow runners to transfer their series entry to another runner provided they submit a completed entry form which is clearly marked:

"Transfer runner number XXXX from previous runner "

Please give as many details of the previous runner as possible; including "age on race day" and sex.  We want to make absolutely sure we transfer the entry from the right person.  The entry form for the new runner MUST be completed as normal with age, sex etc.

Please send the information to the address on the entry form, making sure it arrives before the day of the first race.

We will not charge a transfer fee to do this.  We want to see the right names against the runners in the results!

Prizes

There are prizes for each individual race, plus series prizes.  The rules for series age category prizes are:

• You must do at least 4 races.
• If you do 5 races, your best 4 times count.
• Series prizes are awarded in the runners age category unless they beat the open runners.
• The winner is the runner who has the fastest average time for 4 races in their age category.
