About this Race Series

2026 Grand Prix Rules

A runner must be a Tidewater Strider member in good standing at the time of Grand Prix sign up and at the conclusion of the season and complete a minimum of 6 races. Races only count from date of sign up and forward.  Any corrections should be emailed to the Grand Prix Chairman as soon as possible.

There is no automatic roll over on the Grand Prix sign up from the 2025 season.  You must sign up again for 2026 and use the link on RunSignUp at https://runsignup.com/Race/VA/VirginiaBeach/TidewaterStriderGrandPrixSignup

Races are scored based on finish. 20 points for 1st, 18 for second, 16 for third, and etc. All finishers not in the top 10 will score 2 points. Both the 10 and 15 mile races in Distance Series II & the 20k and 30k races in Distance Series III will count for full points.   The other races in the Distance Series will not be scored.  

Volunteering is required. To be eligible for awards in the Grand Prix participants must volunteer in person for a minimum of 3 Tidewater Striders supported events and activities (Strider races, adopt a highway, adopt a trail, packet pickup, etc.).  One of the in person volunteering must be at a a Strider race.  Please continue to check the website and Tidewater Strider social media if any changes volunteer requirements occur.  It is your responsibility to monitor the Volunteer page to make sure that you are counted and marked for your volunteering.  Please check that page within a week after you volunteer and reach out to the Volunteer coordinators with any errors or questions you may have.  

Your age on July 1st determines your Grand Prix age. Divisions will consist of Overall Men & Women, Masters Men & Women (40 and over) and Age Group (5 year increments) Men & Women.

End of year awards will be given to the top three finishers in the Overall and Masters divisions and each Age Group (5 year) at the annual Awards Banquet in February. A runner is eligible for only one award.

Tiebreakers are as follows: (1) Volunteer points, (2) head to head, and (3) fastest 5k.

You must complete the Grand Prix event in the time allotted for the event in order to earn points.
