A series of ten progressively longer races, held at various locations throughout the Town of Westport.

We're happy to announce the 64th annual Roadrunners Summer Series! Once again, we will be using the follow protocols:

1. There will be no in-person race day registration on paper forms. Online registration will remain open until the start time. Runners should register before arriving at the race site, or on their phones when they get there (scan the QR code on the sandwich board sign), then check in with other pre-registered runners.

2. Once again, we will utilize ChronoTrack chip timing technology for all races. This will give all runners a net or "chip" time based on when they cross the start, and will have the added benefit of almost instant results. If you sign up for text alerts, your finish time and place will be waiting for you on your phone when you get back to your car. You will also receive an email later on race morning with your individual result, often with a video clip of your finish. Thanks to Pequot Runners and Fleet Feet for providing timing bibs and chips!

3. To facilitate this, all runners must check in before the race and be assigned a race bib, which must be worn on the front of your shirt or shorts during the race. If you have a bib from a previous Series race you should re-use that, but you still need to check in and tell the volunteer your number.

ONCE AGAIN - PHOTOS! RunSignUp has added the ability for runners to upload photos to this site. So, after you complete your race, post a photo or two of your run - at the start, finish or in between. The more we get, the better! Just click on the Photo tab on the left side of the screen and post away!

Due to the pricing structure for online registration, which includes a $2.61 processing fee for each transaction, it will be MUCH cheaper to register for the full 10-race Series if you are doing more than six races. We strongly recommend you take advantage of the Series discount. It will also eliminate the need to register for each race separately online. AND IF YOU REGISTER BY JULY 2, YOU'LL GET A SHORT SLEEVE TECH SHIRT!
