Virtual Super Iron Runner Series Update (May 2020)
Well, as you might have heard, a few things have changed plans for life in general in 2020. Lo, and behold, this COVID-19 health crisis has forced almost all road races since March to either cancel completely or provide a virtual option. After the quarantines are over, it is unclear which road races will be offered, whether by postponement or on schedule. This uncertainty has thrown a monkey wrench into our 2020 Super Iron Runner Series plan.
So, our Super Iron Runner Series Committee has come up with a great "PLAN B" to keep our club members connected to each other and provide the motivation to challenge ourselves with special athletic tests over the coming months, as well as earn SIRS points. The events will now be virtual, allowing folks to run the race distance in their own neighborhood, or some other location safe to run. We only ask that you provide proof of the effort by checking in with your virtual race results in the form below.
So here are the revised rules for the 2020 Super Iron Runner Series:
REQUIREMENTS for Eligibility
-
All submissions must take place the weekend specified, submissions out of the window can not be honored
-
YOU MUST BE A current DUES PAYING MEMBER.
