| | Road Kill 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 instead of a relay and
scoring the meet for clubs and teams to compete just like the high
school days.
As usual, BCRR will be sponsoring teams in
which all runners have current BCRR and HARRA memberships (you must
have BCRR designated as your primary club in your HARRA profile). You
must renew both memberships before the race! You will receive instructions how to register (and pay for) yourself and your team from your race organizer soon.
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).
Time & Location
8AM (Mass Start) Bear Creek Park - Baseball Field 7 Parking (SE corner) look for porta-cans and tents on grass. Google Map Pin
