NEW to the 2025 Race Series!! 

Let’s kick off 2025 with a Team Competition! It’s time to rally! Let’s be honest, we all know that everything is better with friends! Even better is when we add in a little EXTRA friendly competition. So go ahead and recruit your friends, co-workers, karaoke partners, running and walking friends and family for the new Race Series Team Competition. To learn more, click below!

We are excited to end our season with the Race Series Party celebrating all those who have participated in at least 5 events in the 2025 Race Series races. Communications have been sent to all those who qualify and look forward to celebrating with you!

The Team Competition is separate from individual team points. In order for teams to earn points, participants OR volunteers must join a team. This can be done when participants register or any time prior to race day. For volunteers, it is a question when the volunteer signs up. Each finisher will earn ONE point for the team, no matter their finishing place. Each volunteer will earn ONE point for the team.
