The running competition for clubs in Sussex
The Sussex Grand Prix (SGP) is a running series of races which take place between March and November each year in various locations across Sussex.
The SGP was founded in 1985 by Ron Grover and Carol Wilson of Arena 80.
It is made up of currently 24 running Clubs across Sussex along with their members all of whom are registered with England Athletics. The number of races comprising the series is currently 12. We have a Committee of SGP representatives of the SGP Clubs who meet every quarter and an AGM held annually. An awards evening following the end of the year takes place annually.
Further details about the Clubs, membership, rules and calendar of races are contained within our website.
Mission
Devoted to enriching Sussex communities through the exhilarating experience of running, our mission encompasses fostering a vibrant culture of wellness, unity, and personal triumph.
Our primary objective is to cultivate inclusive and encouraging environments where individuals of all backgrounds and abilities can flourish and participate in races together representing their Clubs.
Our commitment to sustainability and community engagement drives us to not only promote physical well-being but also to contribute positively to the local environment and society. Together, we pave the way for a healthier, happier Sussex through the rhythm of our footsteps!
Points are awarded according to the runner’s finishing position, 1st place earns 500 points, 2nd place 499, and so on. The scoring is separate for males and females.
Runner’s individual points totals are obtained from their best 6 scoring races.
Team scores are calculated on a race-by-race basis according to the finishing positions of each team’s runners.
Remember, it is a runner’s responsibility to check that they have been correctly recorded for the races they have run. Once the results are finalised no changes will be made.
You should use our results query form to advise us of any errors or omissions in provisional results; the query service remains open for 3-weeks after publication of provisional results for each race.
