- To encourage Worksop Harriers to turn out in Championship Races, and give them additional rewards for medal winning performances, both as Individuals and as a Team
- To reward Athletes who wish to enter races over and above those designated, but not to make those rewards so great that they take undue preference over designated races
- To enable all Athletes to run a Marathon, at a time and place that suits them, and to have points awarded for their efforts. No more than 3 Marathons can be included, in an Athletes submission, for a Grand Prix season.
