The penultimate race in the series, the Eenie-Meanie-Minie-Moe Half-Marathon, and a challenging one at that!

You want loops we've got loops! The Eenie-Meanie-Minie-Moe Half Marathon consists of 4 loops in total, for those familiar with Tyler Park we start with 2 front loops and finish with 2 back loops, Oh yeah, did we mention hills, that's a benefit of running in Tyler Park, there are plenty of hills, running 2 double loops gives you the added bonus of getting to run them all twice!

Bib pickup begins 8:00 AM Sunday morning.

This is for a single race sign up. To sign up for the series, please go to the Winter Series Sign Up page.

The final race in the Winter Series, the Staggered Start 4.6 Miler.

A unique event with a fun 'twist'! Runner's start times are staggered based on a secret formula that takes into account the performance of previous Winter Series races. The goal is for every runner to finish at the same time, 10am.

Speed alone doesn't win this race; it's up for grabs by anyone having a break-out performance.
