The GP is open to all senior paid-up Chorley members. The races have been specially chosen because they are enjoyable, and in some cases free.
The GP is now based on parkruns completed during a calendar year, and so is free and open to all members.
The first fixture of the 2026 GP will take place 31st January 2026 at Lytham Hall Parkrun.
For those that didn’t take part last year - Once a month (Jan - Nov) on the last Saturday of the month, we do a Parkrun as a GP fixture/Social.
Its fun and friendly competition, where you score points based on your age grading (not finish position).
After the run, we grab a coffee together at the Parkrun. Theres no pressure to run fast, just come and enjoy! The only rule is that you are a paid member of the club.
If you haven’t registered for Parkrun yet then go to parkrun to register for free.
NEW RULES FOR 2026!
• 7 fixtures to count (but do as many as you can!)
• Points scored are calculated based on age-graded score for male and females for each event
• PBs will be calculated on Age Grading PB rather than time!
• PBs will be worth 3 points now!
• 10 points if you volunteer at the club run rather than run the Parkrun (you cant get run and volunteer points in the same fixture)
