MRA Classic Race Series
Presented by Running Room Canada Inc.
The MRA Classic Race Series is a series of MRA sanctioned events run on courses certified accurate by Athletics Canada. Distances vary from 5k-Full Marathon and are timed by an MRA-approved timer. The emphasis of this series is to encourage friendly competition among runners 16 years of age and older (age calculated as of January 1st).
Points are earned based on placings compared to other MRA members at the races in the series and are used to calculate the top three runners (male and female) in each five year age category. These winners are awarded for their achievement at the annual MRA Awards Banquet in November.
An MRA membership is required to take part in the series. A minimum of 5 races are needed to qualify for an award, with the points in your best 10 races to be used for the final calculations. The point system is as follows:
Place Points Place Points
1 300 11 195
2 285 12 185

There are no upcoming events at this time
COVID-19 UPDATE:
Due to many of the events in the Classic Race Series being cancelled or postponed, we have made a few changes to the way that points can be earned. Any sanctioned event in the Series that offers a virtual option of the original distance chosen for the Series will still be included in the Series. Please enter a target or goal distance into your app (if possible) that corresponds to the distance of the event in the Series in order to ensure that it will give you a time for that distance.
Follow the instructions on the event page to record your results. We are still working out the details of how the points will be allocated but rest assured that we will record your run.
**Please visit the event page for more information about registration and recording your run**
