YRRC Winter Series 2026-2027

Want to run / walk some hills around York County this winter with 300 of your friends? If so, with nine race venues around York County, the York Road Runners Club Winter Series is for you! This low-pressure, low-cost series is the perfect way to stay active and motivated throughout the chilly months. Each venue hosts a main event from 5k up to 10 miles, as well as a one mile run prior to the main event. You can run just the 1 miler, just the Main Event, or both. Come join us!

How does the Winter Series work?

• Run 9 races and / or 9 one mile runs for one low registration fee. 
• Participants are assigned a race bib (or bibs) and are responsible for bringing their bib(s) and wearing it at race they attend.**
• Those opting to run the 1 mile AND the main event will be issued 2 bibs. You must wear the correct bib for each event in order for your time to be recorded for the event.
• Series points are awarded at each race based on your age group placement. Your age group is based on your age as of 11/15/2026. 
• Awards are presented at the final race based on placement points earned throughout the series. The more races you run, the better your chances of placing!
• Awards are presented to the top three males and top three females (based on series points) for the Mile and the Main Event in the following age groups: 1‐13; 14‐19; 20‐24; 25‐29; 30‐34; 35‐39; 40‐44; 45‐49; 50‐54; 55‐59; 60‐64; 65‐69; 70-74, 75+
