How does the Winter Series work?

Run 9 races and / or 9 one mile runs for one low registration fee.
Participants are assigned a race bib and are responsible for bringing their bib and wearing it for every race they attend.**
Those opting to run the 1 mile AND the main event will be issued 2 bibs. You must wear the correct bib for each event in order for your time to be recorded for the event.
Series points are awarded at each race based on your age group (age as of 11/15/2026) placement. (scroll down to see how points are assigned)
Awards will be presented at the final race based on placement points earned throughout the series. The more races you run, the better your chances of placing!
