    2026 Walker Grand Prix Rules

    A walker must be a Tidewater Striders member in good standing at the time of the races and complete a minimum of 6 races. Races only count from date of membership forward. Any corrections should be emailed to the Grand Prix Chairman as soon as possible.

    Races are scored based on finish. 10 points for 1st, 8 for second, 6 for third, and etc. All finishers not in the top 5 will score 1 point (Note: You will earn the SAME amount of points no matter what distance you walk during any of the Distance Series races).

    You may sign up for both the Walking Grand Prix and the Running Grand Prix. If you sign up for a race as a walker you will only earn points in the Walking Grand Prix. If you sign up for a race as a runner, you will only earn points for the Running Grand Prix.

    Volunteering is required. To be eligible for awards in the Grand Prix, participants must volunteer at THREE Tidewater Striders supported events (e.g., Striders race, Adopt-a-Highway, etc. …). One of the in person volunteering must be at a Strider supported race.

    End of year awards will be given to the top three male and female finishers. You must complete the 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 must complete that event in 1 hour. No race scoring will be applied to virtual races.

    Stand with us as a sponsor of Sentara’s annual Don’t Sit on Colon Cancer 5K & 1 mile walk, a community-driven event dedicated to saving lives through awareness, early detection, and support for those battling colon cancer. On March 28, 2026, survivors, families, medical teams, and supporters will come together not just to move their bodies, but to move change forward.

    Today, colon cancer is the leading cause of cancer in men under 50 and the second leading cause in women of the same age. Even more alarming, it is increasingly being diagnosed in younger adults, many of whom face advanced stages of the disease due to delayed detection. These realities underscore the critical need for increased awareness, education, and access to screening.

    Run or walk to remember those lost, honor those fighting, and to celebrate the survivors of Colorectal Cancer throughout Hampton Roads.

    Proceeds from this event directly support colorectal cancer education, increase access to screening, and provide financial assistance to patients experiencing hardship.

    Please note:

    For the safety and comfort of all attendees, please be advised that pets are not permitted at the event with the exception of service animals. We appreciate your understanding as this policy ensures a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.

    Thank you for your cooperation, and we look forward to seeing you at the race.
