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

Congrats to all the runners that found their way back through the fog! Head HERE for results from the 1 mile run and 10k!!

These are the top 10 reasons for running (or volunteering for) the White Rose Run 5 Miler.

1. York Road Runners Club owns and organizes it. It’s your club.  And it’s organized by runners for runners!!
2. Proceeds from the race support the York Chapter of Not One More, Inc., a nonprofit organization committed to providing awareness, education and support to those affected by drug abuse and addiction. If you would like, you can add a donation when you register.

3. This is a race with a history. This will be the 42^nd
   
4. It runs through the streets of York City, including downtown, Farquhar Park, the Avenues, and Fireside.
5. There is a really fun post-race party with free beer and a sandwich and live music.
6. Parking will be readily available and easy on race morning.
7. York Revolution is providing us with our race start by Cannonball Charlie and lots of fun with mascot Downtown.

15. The Stroller Division is back! Just show up with a stroller and a child, and we’ll record the male and female winners.
16. Enter the Team Challenge. When you register, create a team, or pick an already registered team from the drop-down menu.   Be the biggest team – appropriate recognition on race day.  Or be the winning team.
