Spring Valley 4 Miler is today at 1:00 (1 mile begins at 12:30). Parking is limited so please be mindful of the runners and spacing of your vehicles.

*****no race day registration *****

Bib/blanket pick up begins at 11:00 – remain distanced and wear masks.

We are encouraging participants to bring their own water. Bottles will be available at the finish line.

Runners only at these events, no spectators this year – we will have photographers (thank you Clay and Karen) and you may share those photos with your family.

Runners, race directors, volunteers and timers are all very excited to have LIVE events……….I cannot stress this enough, safety at our events this year comes before setting a PR. Let’s all work together to kick off another amazing YRRC Winter Series!!!

Link to course – https://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/3656695642 – this is an out & back again this year.

One more day until we kick off the 2020-2021 Winter Series.

Things will look different this year, but we are excited to host the series and to do so as safely as possible. Please check out some changes you can expect:

• NO race day registration
  -MASKS must be worn unless you are on the race course
• Spectators, we love you, but this year, for the sake of the runners and race volunteers, we are asking you to stay home.
• Stay by your vehicle until a few minutes prior to race start.
• Rolling race start times (50 per wave).
• Do not congregate after the race – slowly and safely leave the race venue as quick as possible.

We would really appreciate everybody’s help and patience with these guidelines. Not only for the safety of those involved, but also as a way to make sure we can continue with the remaining races.

From our fabulous race director:

Hoping to see all of you Saturday at the Springettsbury 10k! Here are the course maps for reference, same as the last couple years.

If you’re looking for an excuse to sit this one out or if you’d just like to lend a helping hand I could still use some volunteers! Please let me know if you’re available. Message yrrcwinterseries@gmail.com if you are interested in helping.

THE JACOBUS RACE WILL RETURN TO A 5 MILER THIS YEAR!

Thank you to our Jacobus race director for working closely with the powers that be to get approval for the runners to cross the bridge on Water Street this year! The 1 mile course will remain the same as it has for the past few years. The 5 mile course will use the one mile course at the beginning before we send you down Water Street. Don’t worry, we were able to keep the hill at the finish!

Members of Christ United Methodist Church will again serve us hot breakfast and beverages afterwards. We appreciate their time and effort to make this happen each year. Please consider making a contribution towards their cause.

Three races remain in the series – online registration is available through February 6th at https://runsignup.com/Race/PA/York/YRRCWinterSeries

VOLUNTEER NEEDED for Indian Rock tomorrow at the 5ish mile turn around. Easy access and parking from the trail. You are responsible to make sure the runners turn back towards the finish line. I will have the mile markers and cones all set up for you. Please let me know if you can help – 717.855.8750 and/or yrrcwinterseries@gmail.com
