Alternatively, runners can register for single events (excluding Event #1) for $20 online or $25 cash on race day.
Participant Details
Participants who register for the full series receive an SVR knit beanie. Runners competing in the full series wear an assigned shoe timing chip for races #2-8. Points are awarded after each race based on overall and age group finish, with cumulative scores calculated from a runner's top six finishes. Awards for overall and age group categories are presented at a club banquet in April.
The event is managed entirely by volunteers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
