The YRRC is dedicated to promoting running, racing, and healthy living in York County
Did you know that you can view YRRC race photos on our club Flickr page? Today the photos from the John Rudy Park 5 Miler, part of the Winter Series, were posted. You can see all of the photo albums at this link: https://www.flickr.com/photos/yorkroadrunnersclub/albums.
Enjoy the pictures!
We hope you’ll follow us on our new website. We’re working hard to make it useful for our YRRC members, but we have a lot to learn and a lot to update.
Yesterday (12/29/2018) was our Winter Series John Rudy Park 5 Miler and 1 Mile event. We had more than 300 in the main event and more than 100 in the 1 Mile event!! The results can be found by clicking or tapping on this website menu at YRRC Winter Series/WS Results/Winter Series 2018-19 Results. We will keep updating as the series progresses.
Planning for the 2019 White Rose Run 5 Miler continues. You may wonder why we haven’t posted a date yet. Our board and White Rose committee members believe that it’s best NOT to have the event in downtown York City the same date as York’s Bike Night. The Bike Night date was announced only two weeks ago, just before the holidays, and they have selected 9/21/2019. Now we are working to confirm our White Rose date. It looks like it will be either 9/28/2019 or 10/5/2019 and we will announce as soon as possible. The White Rose Run information on this website and on runsignup is NOT updated, and will be soon.
Anyone interested in volunteering? We’d like to fill several positions:
Events Coordinator: This person will primarily continue our tradition of the Beginner Runners program. Hal Darr has led this program for many years, actually decades, and feels it’s time to step down. We hope this important tradition will continue, but everything the club does, including this, requires club member leadership.
Sponsor Coordinator: This person will, with the assistance of the YRRC Board and the White Rose committee, identify and coordinate with potential sponsors. Sponsorship is used to defray the costs in putting on the White Rose Run and other programs, including providing funds to donate to the charity that the White Rose supports.
Web Administrator: Our current web administrator, Ned Einsig, will be moving on at the end of 2019, so we’re looking for someone to learn during 2019 and take over the job in 2020. We’re using WordPress and runsignup. Interested?
And we can always use people as volunteers at our events, or to work on YRRC committees such as the White Rose committee or the Winter Series committee.
If you are interested or have any questions, please feel free to contact us at: presidentyrrc@gmail.com.
And if you are not a YRRC member, we hope you’ll sign up at: runsignup.com/Club/PA/York/YorkRoadRunnersClub

Please remember this race, and the remainder of the Winter Series races, will take place on Saturday mornings. The one mile begins at 8:35am and the main event will start at 9:00am.
Thanks to the race director, we will have Amy Good back again this year with her delicious soups at the finish line! McDonald’s of South Queen Street will also provide hot beverages to warm us up.
Saturday morning weather shows showers, but temps should warm a bit over the next few days. We’ll take it!
If you placed an order for Winter Series apparel over the past two weeks, please stop by the registration table to pick up your items.
Here is a link to Clay Shaw’s Dover 10 Miler pictures. It was a beautiful day for the first winter series event and we were happy to see so many people out to run, the largest number at Dover ever.
Spring Valley pictures will be posted soon.
Weather is looking great for Sunday’s Spring Valley 4 Miler! This year we debut a new out-and-back course and a new race director at Spring Valley!!
While we’re excited to be growing as a series, we sometimes run into tight/limited parking at our venues. Get in touch with your running buddies and try to carpool! FOR THE SAFETY OF THE RUNNERS, THERE IS NO PARKING ON CREST ROAD. Please also be mindful of those running the 1 mile race at 12:35 – let’s give them room on the roads to do their thing!!
If you ran the EBACC 5K on 7/21/2018, you’ll want to check out the pictures at our York Road Runners Club Flickr site. Pictures are by Clay Shaw and you should be able to download them for your own use. The race, the first of the Run 717 Series, was contested on a typically hot day in July. We hope you’ll enjoy these images. You can also see albums from lots of other races at this link. Dover pictures will be up soon.
