In an effort to encourage participation in local area running events, Los Angeles Frontrunners offers the LAFR Grand Prix Series. The “Grand Prix” format is used by many running clubs around the country as a fun and exciting way to generate interest in racing and competition.

So what exactly is a Grand Prix Series? Take a bunch of LAFR members, a variety of races over the course of twelve months, and award points to each person for their performance. Points are awarded according to how you place in your age group compared to other LAFR members. Additional points can be earned for setting a PR, finishing a half or full marathon, or just finishing a race! There are three categories of competition in the LAFR Grand Prix Series: Champions Race, Trail Master Race, and Age-Group. Please click the rules/scoring button below for details on each division.

The LAFR Grand Prix Series is open to all members regardless of age or experience. Whether you’re a new runner looking to enter your first race or an experienced competitor looking for your next big challenge — everyone is welcome!
