RRR 2021 Circuit 

 RRR 2021 Circuit has been posted, it is subject to change.  Be patient as the races, especially those in the first half of this year, feel their way through the process of holding races again.  The formats, guidelines, and rules for each will evolve as the each group finds how best to hold their events.  RRR has been successful with our Tour de Trail races with meeting the protocols in keeping all safe while still holding a race.  Events may be slow in getting their registration sites open.  

                                                                      
​                  Stay safe enjoy your running!

Heritage race photos circa 1985
RRR was given a handful of photos from what we believe to be the 1985 Heritage run.  Some of the youngsters would now likely be nearing their masters age groups are you one of them?

Thank you to RRR member Gonzalo Gomez for not only taking and sharing.
