adidas Belgrave SPEED Grand Prix 2003 - Endurance Series

New Middle & Long Distance Track Series at Battersea Park

A new middle and long distance track series is to be held this summer at Battersea Park on Wednesday evenings. There will be five different races over the four evenings culminating in the SEAA 10,000m championships. The top prize is £75 to the runner who gains the most points according to the IAAF scoring tables from three of the four races. I.e. runners can run all four races and choose their best three scores or race in just three races to be eligible for the competition.

Of course if you simply want to turn up for one or two events - or maybe just the SEAA 10,000m - then you will be very welcome.

The races and dates of the meetings are as follows:

Jun

11

1500m

Jun

25

3000m and 3000m s'chase (ladies 2000m s'chase if enough demand)

Jul

23

5000m

Aug

13

10,000m incorporating the SEAA 10,000m champs

NB. runners can choose either race on the 25 June to count towards the competition.

Due to the nature of the competition with it being based on times and not positions, it is expected to provide a good opportunity for runners to get some fast times in competitive races. A ladies series will be held only if there is sufficient interest (40 or more women's race entries throughout the four meetings) otherwise ladies can enter anyway and run in a mixed race.

Entry fees: £2.50 per event before the day, £3.00 on the night. To enter the Endurance GP for the whole series before the first meet - £8.00. If you intend running the 10,000m, have the necessary area qualification, and wish to be included in the SEAA Championship, an additional £8.00 entry is required which we will pass on to the SEAA. All fees payable to Belgrave Sports Promotions Ltd.
