From the organizer

Welcome to the registration page for the MCRRC YOUTH RUNNING SERIES!

This site will be used to register for and track the participation of MCRRC members who are aged 17 and under, participating in our non-competitive, non-timed youth races specifically designated as part of the year-long low-key race series.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

MCRRC membership is REQUIRED for a runner to receive a Youth Running Series award; however, participation is open to all. Registration is required for each participating child, in each youth series race. You may register your child for more than one race at a time. PARENTS: You do NOT need to register for the Youth Running Series runs if you would like to accompany your child! If your child does NOT participate in a race that you signed them up for, please contact office@mcrrc.org to have the registration removed so it does not count toward your child's Youth Running Series for the year. This is only applicable for MCRRC members. You may access this form at any time throughout the year to sign your child up for additional, participating races. For more information on the Youth Running Series, please visit our website .
