From the Organizer
Please do not select all meets unless you know you will attend all of them. On some evenings, we have had as many as 300 no-shows (participants who registered and did not attend); no-shows take slots away from participants who are ready and willing to participate.
Youth runners are free!! So that we can continue to provide free track & field meets to all, we ask that, if able, you make a $5 donation. For all the information about the meets including events, times, etc. please visit www.mrctrack.com
For registration/pricing purposes youth are all those under the age of 18. For participation purposes and results, anyone under the age of 14 (or high school) is considered youth. High school athletes should plan to compete in the adult division at each meet.
Registration for the series is open at the end of April! Please visit our website for all the details.
Please note, there are no non-binary heats or separate events, participate wherever you feel comfortable.

About This Sport
From Endurance Grid's Founder
Endurance Grid is here to help you understand the sport, decide if it's the right fit, and learn how to prepare. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer's event page.
The half marathon is the distance where you find out what you're actually made of. Long enough to demand real preparation. Short enough that it doesn't consume your life to train for it. Most people who run their first half describe it as the race that changed their relationship with what they're capable of. Once you cross this finish line, the bar moves. That's not a warning — that's the point.
Race day energy varies by event size, but the finish line feeling is the same regardless. Big races keep the noise going the whole way. Smaller races give you stretches where it's just you and the miles — and that solitude becomes its own kind of fuel.
The half marathon rewards people who show up for the boring training miles.
How long to train: 10–14 weeks. If you're already running consistently, 10 weeks of structured buildup is enough. If you're building from a casual base, give yourself 14.
Running
From 5K to marathon, running races are the most accessible entry point into endurance sport. There's a distance for every fitness level and a community at every start line.
