Who is David Jordan and what is the David Jordan Award?
For ten years, from 1999 through 2008, David Jordan ran every single race in the Atlanta Track Club Grand Prix Series--a feat made even more remarkable by the fact that David is a survivor of childhood polio. He is the embodiment of dedication and determination and proof that "the race is not always to the swift".
The David Jordan Award is presented to all Grand Prix participants who successfully complete every race (virtually or in-person) in the annual series schedule (a total of 8 events in 2021). Members who achieve this impressive accomplishment will have the option to receive a personalized glass award. The Grand Prix Series Finale is not included as one of the events.
