Starting in 2018, the central PA trail running scene will take on a brand new look! 15 different races will team up…breaking away from the old Trophy Series to form the new Rocksylvania Trail Series. The series is sponsored by LA SPORTIVA and XOSKIN showcasing some of the best trail races in the state. We took the original Trophy Series and tweaked it to add more races and distance options to give runners more of a variety and more chances to win.
The series will expand to 15 local races broken down into three divisions based on race distance.
Division 1 – 10K
Division 2 – Half Marathon
Division 3 – 25k
This will give runners the option of concentrating on distances that are more to their liking. You can run as many or as few races as you’d like, but the more races you run in one particular division, the better your chances are in winning a prize. Falcon Timing will be scoring each runner based on their age group finish at each race and prizes will be awarded to the top male and female of each age group at the end of the year.
The top finisher in each age group will earn 25 points per race. Second will earn 24 and so on. The individual in each age group that has the HIGHEST point total at the end of that series will be crowded the champion. The maximum number of points someone can earn is 125.
To earn a Rocksylvania tech tee, a runner must either run all 5 races in one category or finish at least 8 total races in the Series. Good luck everyone!!!!
