Information for Race Directors
Registration for the 2016 Trophy Series
A limited number of trail races can participate in the Trail Runner Trophy Series, so the sooner you act, the better chance your event has of being accepted. Please note that registering your race for the Trail Runner race calendar (which you can do any time in the year) is not the same as registering for the Trophy Series.
Register your event for the 2016 Trophy Series here.
Review the 2016 agreement and submit your race information by Dec. 30, 2015 to be listed in the March issue. Make sure to include YOUR NAME in the form. Your Trophy Series participation will not be recognized unless you submit the form and include your email address. Forms can also be printed out and faxed to (970) 963-4965.
