2013 Challenge Series and Grand Prix Calendar
The list below (UPDATED, March 10) includes races on the White River Roadrunners and Arkansas RRCA Grand Prix series 2013 calendars. The Grand Prix competition awards points to the top 10 series runners in each age category at each race. "Championship races" are scored on a scale from 30 points to 3 in 3-point steps, with the other races scored from 20 to 2 in 2-point steps. WRRR is expanding its own series in 2013, with 15 14 races included. Click for ARRCA Grand Prix info, WRRR Challenge Series info, or Challenge Series Q&A. The 4-Mile Classic and Sara Low 5K are featured in both collections. Links to race Web sites will be added as sites become active. (NOTE: The CASA 5K in Searcy moved from July to April and conflicts with Band on the Run, so we are NOT including it in the Challenge Series this year. We continue to list it here as supporting a worthy cause, and hope to check in next year as we seek to broaden the reach of our club.)
