YRRC Winter Series 2025 - 2026

🏃‍♂️ Race Overview

Want to run / walk some hills around York County this winter with 200 - 300 of your friends? If so, with nine race venues around York County, the York Road Runners Club Winter Series is for you! 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. If you can do the distance, we'll make the time. Each main event will have a sweep runner who will stay with or behind the last runner until they finish.
