Racing Team

MRC is proud to field a competitive racing team that annually competes in Road, Trail, XC, and Ultra races regionally and nationally. Our trophy case shows our proud history. The racing team is open to all abilities and we are happy to have you!

Our racing team competes in the USATF-CT racing series for Road, Mountain/Ultra/Trail, and Cross Country. Each race series offers friendly but serious competition between the racing teams of various CT-based running clubs. Team scoring is calculated per series across multiple age categories, and prize money is awarded to the winning clubs at the end of each year. MRC distributes winnings to the racing team members who contributed to scoring for the team.

Anyone in the MRC Running Club is more than welcome to join the racing team! Just send us an email and we’ll send you the instructions to register. There is a separate annual fee to become a USATF-CT member, which is required to count for team scoring. Other than this fee, the racing team is simply an extension of your MRC membership. If you aren’t interested in racing, that’s fine too! Joining the racing team is completely optional.
