2013 will be the 1st Annual Y Coastal Carolina Run Series presented by the Wilmington Family YMCA and is open to everyone! Can you go the distance?
This series has been put in place to inspire community health and involvement. The YMCA’s first goal is to encourage participants from the Girls on
the Run and STRIDE programs, as well as their families, to continue a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living by completing additional 5k races
outside of their program season. Our second goal is to encourage community members from all over our 5k service area to compete in our 5ks along the coast.
Our final and LARGEST goal is to increase family involvement in a healthy way, by participating in our variety of 5ks in a fun, family competition!
In order to qualify, you must participate in two or more of the seven races that are included in the series. You are automatically entered into the
series after your second race.
Date: Saturday, December 14, 2013 - Location: Wilmington, NC
Our series consists of seven 5ks and one 10k. The scoring system is designed to give motivation to all participants; therefore, participation is
valued as well as speed and placement.
All seven events will be scored and added up. By running in more events, a runner will add points and has a chance to move up in final placement,
even though a runner may not place in each individual race. If a participant runs more events they may out score a faster runner who has not participated
in as many events.
Registration available soon!
