2015 Grand Prix Update - June Standings
Scores have been updated for the 2015 RCGC Grand Prix through Memorial Day Race 39(View Standings). The goal of the Grand Prix is to include and recognize members that do many of the races that the club puts on or supports.

The next races in the RCGC Grand Prix will be the Hyde Park Blast which is this Saturday June 27, followed by the Madeira Mile on Thursday July 2.
Below is a list of the top 10 male and top 10 female club members for scoring through Memorial Day Race 39. Currently scoring is based on all the races that you have done for 2015. Official scoring will be based on your best 7 races(either A, B, C), your best B race, and your best C Race so you still have time to catch up. Official scoring will not be calculated until after the Summer Cross Country Series when members have a chance to get a C Race.(For a complete listing of standings, go to www.cincinnatirunning.com.)
