A new year is upon us so it’s time to get back to our
community fun-runs (plus one opportunity to bike!) We have our Spring 2024 5k Series starting up
in February and ‘running’ once per month until May. We hope you will join us for one (or all) of
our events.
Traditionally, our Fall Series is all about charitable
contributions while our Spring Series is your opportunity to maybe win
big! For races 1,2 and 4 there will be
one $10 winner for females and one $10 winner for an ‘open category’ which will
include male and gender diverse participants (you can also choose not to state
your gender identity and you will be included in the ‘open category.’) We encourage you to enter yourself in the
category with which you most closely align and know that we at SSR are here to
support you. In each race, the top 20
female finishers and the top 20 open category finishers will receive points
depending on your place. At the end of
the Series, the individual from each category with the most points will each
win $50! If you think you’d never
qualify to win the Series prize, know that we’ve had kids win, we’ve had
run/walkers win… It’s not always the super-fast runners so keep showing up and
earning those points!
