The races are run each Tuesday evening starting at 7PM (early start at 6:50), from June 9th to August 11th (eight races). Scoring will give 1000 points to the race winner, and everyone else a percentage of that based on their finish time. All eight races will be scored, with prizes to the winners given out after Race 8 on August 11th. A minimum of three races must be run to win.
Sign up for all 8 races before June 1st to receive a free race t-shirt!!
