Hi Harriers
A week after our delightful HM it was the turn of our hop picking cousins to play host in Paddock Wood’s finest industrial estate.
Alex Reid was the star of the day being first Harrier across the line (shortly followed by Alex Jeffreys) and topping these rankings.
There were 6 KGP first timers, none better than Ed Fraser, who at the grand old age of 49 can still manage 1:17 !
As usual, The Tuesday Tonbridge Intervals crew scooped up half of the top 20 places (everyone welcome btw).

Results after the first 3 races are attached.
The next event in the Grand Prix is the Folkestone 10 on Good Friday, 29th March.
10 miles of flat coastal running with plenty of fish and chips on offer afterwards, what’s not to like ?
And I might even bring some cake and biscuits !
It’s time to commit. 
The club road Grand Prix Trophy is designed to encourage Harriers to race more often, and on equal terms with all other members as the results are adjusted for age and gender. Each race of the ten Kent Grand Prix series counts towards our club road grand prix with a percentage result based on finishing time, age and gender. This percentage is calculated according to the 2015 WAVA scale. The winner is the runner with the best score at the end of the season, that is the average of their best five percentages over the series.
Age graded Percentage guidelines:-
100% Approximate world record level
Above 90% World Class Level
Above 80% National Class Level
Above 70% Regional Class Level
Above 60% Local Class Level
