The YRRC is dedicated to promoting running, racing, and healthy living in York County
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
