Every runner who completes eight of the ten races earns a Race Series sweatshirt. The shorter distance at each event counts toward this goal just the same as the longer distance. For example, finishing the Blacksburg Classic 5K earns you credit toward the sweatshirt just like finishing the 10 Miler. The longer distance is required only for those competing for series points and overall awards. This same policy applies to all 2025 Race Series events.
