SCAA Grand Prix Series 2011

Dear Hadleigh Hares

As an affiliated club of the Suffolk County Athletics Association (SCAA), the SCAA are pleased to announce the start of the county road running Grand Prix series for 2011.

This is a series of 6 running races throughout 2011, held across the county, where individuals and clubs are scored for the series of races to compete to be Suffolk champions. The races selected for 2011 are:

Joe Cox Half Marathon	27-Mar-2011	Framlingham 10k	4-Sep-2011
Kirton Friday 5	3-Jun-2011	Bungay 20k	6-Nov-2011
Newmarket 10k	3-Jul-2011	Hadleigh 10m	20-Nov-2011

Being a tester year for the series, 2 races have been run and scored for the Grand Prix series.

Full rules on the scoring and the results after 2 races can be found on the Suffolk County’s website at http://www.suffolkathletics.org.uk/Temp%20work/road.htm.

It should be noted that only clubs affiliated to the SCAA and their membership are entitled to be part of the series.

For clubs whose races form part of the series, the SCAA welcome the organisers to advertise that their race is part of the Suffolk County Grand Prix Series 2011. Race directors and clubs should be aware that there are no additional ‘Entry Form’ requirements, nor are there any additional contributions required from the clubs to be part of the series. The county association will be happy to review the selection of races at the start of each season and welcome requests from affiliated clubs.

As club secretary, would you kindly distribute the race dates and the results after 2 races (found on the SCAA website Road Running section) around your committee and membership.

We look forward to a successful series.

Thank you and happy running

The events section provides information on local (and sometimes more distant) running, cycling and multisport events in which you may be interested in taking part as well as our club races and social events

The club organises three events each year - the Hadleigh 10 Mile Road Race and 2km Junior Fun Run take place on the same day in November and the Hadleigh Cross Country race takes place in January.

The club also organises several social events each year - the popular annual club Run/Row race takes place on the river at Dedham in July and the Club 5km race takes place in Hadleigh in August. Both events finish with nibbles and a pint (or two) at a local hostelry. We have two Awards Nights each year to celebrate the achievements of our athletes: the Junior / Senior Awards Night takes place in September and the Triathlon Awards Night takes place in November. In addition to the annual events we also organise one-off social events - for example in November, 26 of us are going to the Manchester Velodrome to watch the professionals race. The following day we are going to spend an hour on the race track trying to stay upright at the top of the banking.
