Overview

The Racing Series was created to give members a fun and friendly way to compete with one another in a points-earning event. Each year, a series of local 5k and 10k races are hand-picked to be part of the series. As races are held throughout the year, runners who elect to participate in the series will score points based on their overall finishing place overall or in their age groups. Regardless of finishing position, each participant will receive points just for finishing. The better the finishing position, the more points that are awarded. At the end of the year, points are accumulated and the person with the highest points wins the competition within the designated age group. Racing series winners are announced at the BRC Annual Awards Banquet held in February.
