MRC Racing Series

Hi, just a few changes I wanted everyone to know about.

The Gold Star Honor Run 5K/10K has been moved from May to October 16th and will be an in-person race.

I think everyone is rightfully optimistic that we will be pretty much back to normal by then.

The COVID Comeback 5K has moved to May 23rd and will also be an in-person race. The Town of Georgetown has issued the permit and Safe Racing Protocols will be observed.

There is still a virtual race option available through May 15th with registration only $15.

The in-person race is also $15 through May 15th but you can register up to race day. $20 on May16th and $30 on race day.

I have removed the May half marathon from the calendar. Virtual halfs are harder to find and I’m not comfortable adding an in-person only race for May.

I have added a new multi-distance virtual event for June.

The Miles 4 My Community is a nation-wide virtual event.

You can run any of the following distances: 1 mile, 5K, 10K, half-marathon or full marathon.

Registration for any race is $12 through May 9th and goes to $22 on May 10th.

You can only run one race, so no double or triple dipping.

If you are looking to pick up a racing series point, for $12 you can run the 1 mile race. If you want to collect 2 points run the 10K.

A shirt and medal are available for an additional $15.00.

As always, please pass along any race ideas that you have and get out there and run!

Andy
