RRCA has awarded championship events through a competitive bidding process at the National, Regional, and State levels to RRCA member clubs and events since 1958. The RRCA Championship Event Series is the largest grassroots-organized running series in the U.S. with over 200 races participating that attract nearly 300,000 participants. The goal of the RRCA Championship Event Series is to celebrate and shine a spotlight on well-run, community-focused events and to award top performing runners in the open, masters (40+), grand masters (50+), and senior grand masters (60+) categories for both men and women.
NOTE: this is NOT the Maryland/DC Grand Prix series which is scored and has awards given out at the following year’s Maryland/DC RRCA Club Challenge. Having said that, these are quality races worth running. (See https://maryland-rrca.org/md-grand-prix-series/ to learn more about the Grand Prix series.)
