Tomorrow is the last race in the competitive season for 2026! It is hard to imagine that the season is almost over, it's been amazing 💫

Join us tomorrow, October 3rd for the Emerald Mountain Trail Run on the beautiful single track of Emerald Mountain.

12k 9:00 AM
4M 9:30 AM

An email was sent out this morning to registered participants, we will resend tonight. As always, all of the information that you need and registration is at www.runningseries.com

Just a reminder, there is no packet pick up today, bib pick up will be on race morning.

This race also serves as the end of the season awards party, and we will have a celebration and party in Olympian Hall, following the conclusion of the longer race.

If you are in the running for an overall or age group award, please be present. Remember to read the rules on what distances need to be run, 3 long and 2 short at least, unless you're in certain age groups. As mentioned previously, if no one in the top few runners in an age group have done the correct races, it will go to the person with the most points. Remember, you don't need to care about or participate in the points series to do our races. It's just a fun contest on the side. The overall winners are taken out of their age group 😊

This is where we are going into the last race, of course these predictions could also change.
