Spring 5k Series Dates

 

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!
