Race Series

IMG_0021

The TARC Race Series has stayed true to its origins while growing all the time! We now host a series of events covering the full gamut of popular distances. Sticking to our laid back trail ‘tude we offer affordable races with a friendly and welcoming environment.

Our events are a place to catch up with friends and test your training but after you’ve had your fill we invite you to pull up a chair and cheer on the rest of the pack. While we do hand out coveted hand made trophies at some of our races we like to emphasize the individual efforts of the day. A strong and happy pack member makes for a better community!

Find the full list of events on our TARC Trail Series page.
