ARR 2026 Summer Series
The ARR Summer Series is a five-race running series held at multiple parks around the valley between May 17 and August 2, 2026. Each race is an individual event at a different location; the series includes a Grand Prix scored across events.
Distances in the series:
- Four 5K races
- One 4-mile race on July 4
Each individual race offers overall and age group awards. A runner's age for awards is the runner's age on race day. To be eligible for Summer Series Grand Prix awards, a runner must complete at least four races. There is no separate entry fee for the Grand Prix; points are tallied automatically for entrants in ARR Summer Series races.
