1984 saw the Grand Prix Series enter its third season. Mike Clark, winner
of Grand Prix I, was the top overall male once again, while Barbie Hildebrand captured
her first overall title in the women's competition. Grand Prix III reversed
the expansion seen the previous year as the series was whittled down to four
core races:
The 8K River Run
TCB 5K
Arkansas 20K
The Spa 10K
These four races would remain the yearly Grand Prix line-up until the 1988 season when a 15K was added for Grand Prix VII.
