| | Roadkill Cross Country 5k - Sept 19
| | |
| | | Hosted by Trail Racing Over Texas and Hardloop Endurance.
The Road Kill XC is the 2026 HARRA Fall Series cross-country team event
for all ages, clubs, and teams (not just HARRA clubs). New
for 2026 we will be running an open 5km race and scoring the meet for
clubs and teams to compete just like the high school days.
Classic XC Scoring but "Four Score":
Teams
of 4-6 members. The top 4 will score for the team, with runners in 5-6
position being used as a tie-breaker (if needed). Lowest score wins -
1st place = 1 point, 2nd place = 2 points, etc. All teams will be scored
in the open race, in addition to gender/age/club divisions. All members
must meet requirement for the divisions, for example: club competition
must have teammates from the same club, age categories must all
individually be in the age range (or older). Get your teams together (4 is recommended). Team Captains begin registration HERE, then share link with your 3 other team members.
