Grand Prix Races

The Cape Girardeau Road Runners (CGRR) are proud to offer the Grand Prix Series for 2022.  The Grand Prix is a competition among all CGRR members, awarding points for participation and finish placement in local Grand Prix races.  The more races you run, the better chance you have!  Members are automatically registered for the competition. You can visit our website throughout the year to monitor your progress!

Participation

• You must be a member in good standing on the day you run the race.  Membership can be verified here.

• When registering for a Grand Prix Race, mark on the registration form that you are a CGRR Member.  Families are included, so mark for each member participating that day.

• You must run in at least three Grand Prix races to be eligible for an award.
