Tidewater Strider Youth Grand Prix 2026 Sign - Up

2026 Youth Grand Prix Rules There is no automatic roll over on the Youth Grand Prix sign up from the 2025 seasons. You must sign up again on the RunSignUp 2026 website. YOU MUST SIGN UP FOR THE Youth Grand Prix BEFORE THE FIRST RACE YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE SCORED. Example IF you want to be scored in the Resolution 5k & 1 Mile 2026, then your child needs to be signed up for Youth Grand Prix for 2026. Signing up for the race in 2025 does not place your child in the Youth Grand Prix for 2026. December 31st ends the previous year membership for New Energy AND Youth Grand Prix. Eligibility Requirements: A runner must be a Tidewater Striders Member in good standing at the time of Youth Grand Prix sign up and at the conclusion of the year. If participants' membership lapse, they will not be scored for any races during that time period and will be removed from the YGP until membership is renewed. A runner must be between 6 and 16 years of age on July 1st of that YGP season. A runner must complete a minimum five (5) events in the YGP schedule. (You do not need to score points in five (5) races but just complete five (5) races.) Volunteering (3) times is a requirement. Volunteer service must be provided at a Tidewater Striders Event prior to the end of the YGP season. (Volunteering at the last race of the YGP season will count, i.e. helping at water stops, handing out medals & T-shirts, and hospitality). To clarify, if you want to participate in the 5k and 1-mile YGP you must run a minimum of 5 (5k or 1-mile races). Example you could run all 5ks, all 1 mile or a combo of both as long as complete the minimum races. You must complete the Youth Grand Prix event in the time allotted for the event in order to earn points. For example, if it is a 5k and the course limit is 1 hour you finish that event in 1 hour. Participation in the New Energy Youth group is not a requirement for YGP. Events: All Tidewater Striders Youth Grand Prix races will be 5k and one-mile events for
