US Road Running Races US Road Running races are built for runners and walkers who like friendly, low-pressure race days with just enough competition to keep things exciting. Our events are local, welcoming, and easy to jump into, whether you are chasing a PR, collecting another themed medal, working toward series points, or just getting outside with good people. Most races are small enough to feel personal but organized enough to feel official. You can expect a clear course, helpful race staff, finisher medals, results, and a relaxed community feel. Bring your fast shoes, your steady walking pace, your favorite running buddy, or your best “I signed up for this on purpose” smile. We will be glad to see you at the start line. A quick race-day note: because many US Road Running events are small local races, we normally have one or two staff members at each race. EMS is not stationed on site, and water stations are limited to the finish area at the end of each lap and at the race finish. Please plan for the weather, bring anything you may want between laps, and check in with race staff if you need help. View Race Course, Results, and Race Information on the US Road Running race page.

Welcome to the Ugly Pajama 5K—the only race where the crazier the pajamas, the better! Today, we’re celebrating cozy chaos, bold patterns, fuzzy slippers, and everything fabulously mismatched. Whether you’re rocking reindeer onesies, plaid PJs, or sleepwear so questionable it should probably stay indoors… you’re in the perfect place. This event brings together runners, walkers, families, and pajama enthusiasts of all kinds for a lighthearted, laughter-filled 5K. So zip up, tie those robe belts tight, and get ready to strut your stuff on the course. Comfort meets competition as we kick off this fun, spirited run—where style points are definitely awarded for ridiculousness. We are running on Johns Creek Pkwy in Johns Creek, GA starting at 9:00 am. There will be a finisher medal for everyone and a great race-themed shirt. We’ll also be presenting overall and age-group awards in the usual 5-year categories starting at 10 & under, giving runners of all ages a chance to shine. Let’s embrace the silly, stay warm, and make some unforgettable (and very fashion-challenged) memories. Welcome to the Ugly Pajama 5K—let’s pajama-party our way to the finish line!

Get ready to experience two days of mushing on fast, flowy trail that winds through forest and meadow. This is an ISDRA sanctioned dryland race with categories for men, women, and juniors across canicross, bikejor, scooterjor, and rig classes. The race will be held on shady, well established trails in Rome, Ga at the GE Trails. Expect two days of racing on a course approximately 2.3 miles long for all classes. You must complete day 1 to be able to race day 2 (winners' purses to be announced). We'll have food and coffee on site for purchase as well as some other opportunities to gather and relax. Make sure to follow the event Facebook page for lodging/camping information and to stay up to date! WEATHER can be variable here. If your team is not acclimated to Southern winter conditions, please make decisions for your team accordingly; we may race at "feels like" temperatures that account for temperature and humidity upwards of 50 degrees depending on other conditions. We are all hoping for cold and clear though! For anyone new to mushing, expect a driver's meeting to go over trail rules, safety, and equipment requirements. Feel free to contact us with any questions or to join our weekly drop in sessions for more information. NEW THIS YEAR! SWAG: All finishers will receive a challenge coin and a shirt. These will be one per racer - not one per class and will be in your driver's bags. Real bathrooms! The city is installing public toilets with running water. Check socials for any updates on wash stations as I'm really hopeful there will be a hose hook up to at least knock some mud off your bikes, dogs, and maybe you! Subscribe to our MONTHLY SOCIAL TRAINING CALENDAR: https://capitolinaevents.substack.com/ If you're in the Atlanta-Chattanooga-Anniston triangle, we may be on trails near you! We can also guarantee plenty of contact with the race route if you like to prep early for race day. Awards: First, Second, Third place finishers will be recognized in each class with canicross finishers in female, male, and nonbinary categories to be recognized.. Prizes will be awarded in classes with at least 3 participants. Junior racers will be recognized and awarded in a way to maximize the celebration of junior athletes to be determined after registration. That may look like gendered categories or recognition in categories with fewer than 3 racers. We LOVE seeing junior racers get at it!

US Road Running Races US Road Running races are built for runners and walkers who like friendly, low-pressure race days with just enough competition to keep things exciting. Our events are local, welcoming, and easy to jump into, whether you are chasing a PR, collecting another themed medal, working toward series points, or just getting outside with good people. Most races are small enough to feel personal but organized enough to feel official. You can expect a clear course, helpful race staff, finisher medals, results, and a relaxed community feel. Bring your fast shoes, your steady walking pace, your favorite running buddy, or your best “I signed up for this on purpose” smile. We will be glad to see you at the start line. A quick race-day note: because many US Road Running events are small local races, we normally have one or two staff members at each race. EMS is not stationed on site, and water stations are limited to the finish area at the end of each lap and at the race finish. Please plan for the weather, bring anything you may want between laps, and check in with race staff if you need help. View Race Course, Results, and Race Information on the US Road Running race page.

Ruck #1 — The Baseline: Establish your starting point. Your first timed 4-mile ruck sets the mark you'll chase throughout the winter. Winter Ruck Series Four events. One winter. One goal: keep moving forward. The Winter Ruck Series is a four-event challenge designed to test your grit, endurance, and consistency through the winter months. The series begins with three 4-mile rucks and finishes with a 12-mile finale, all completed under a 35 lb dry ruck. Each event is timed, giving you the opportunity to compete against the field while also chasing your own best performance. Throughout the series, you'll earn points for your performance, improvement, and participation, with the overall standings building toward the final 12-mile challenge. You don't have to be the fastest rucker to have something to chase. Maybe you're competing for the top of the leaderboard. Maybe you're trying to improve your time each event. Or maybe your goal is simply to show up, carry the weight, and finish what you started. Winter will provide the conditions. We'll provide the course. You provide the grit.

What Is The CHASE? THE CHASE is a trail race where you aren't just racing the clock. You're being hunted. Every runner wears a CHASE bib with a tear tag. A few minutes after the gun goes off, the CLAW is released onto the course. The CLAW's only job is to catch you and take your tag.​ Cross the finish line with your tag still on your bib and you've ESCAPED THE CLAW. Lose it on the trail and you've been CLAWED.​ This isn't just about speed. It's about pacing, strategy, and how badly you want to keep looking over your shoulder. Go out too hard and you'll fade. Go out too easy and the CLAW will be right behind you.​ Choose the 5K for a short, all-out sprint from the CLAW, or the 15K for a longer hunt where the CLAW has more time to close the gap. HOW IT WORKS Every runner gets a unique CHASE bib with a tear tag. The race starts. You get a 5-minute head start. ​ The CLAW is released and chases runners on course. If the CLAW catches you, they take your tear tag. Finish your distance. If your tag is intact, you ESCAPED. If it's gone, you've been CLAWED. What You Earn: The CHASE Finisher Medal with a "ESCAPED THE CLAW" or "CLAWED" Medal Attachment All participants receive a CHASE Tee. 1st Place M/F Award for 5K & 15K *additional CHASE merch available for purchase with registration Frequently Asked Questions: Do I have to outrun the CLAW to get a medal? Nope. Every finisher gets THE CHASE medal. Your attachment depends on whether you ESCAPE or get CLAWED. What happens if I get caught? You hand over your tag and keep running. Getting caught doesn't end your race. You still finish, still get your medal, and still compete for your place. You just wear CLAWED on your medal instead of ESCAPED THE CLAW. How much of a head start do I get? Everyone gets a 5-minute head start before the CLAW is released. How fast is the CLAW? Fast enough. You'll find out on race day. Is there more than one CLAW? There will be one CLAW for every 150 runners, and one CLAW for each distance. Can I hide my tag? No. Your tag must be visible on the back of your bib at all times. Covering or hiding your tag is an automatic disqualification. Is the race timed? Yes. Every race is timed. 1st place male and female in each distance is decided by finish time, not by whether you ESCAPE the CLAW. Are these trail races or road? THE CHASE is on trail terrain: dirt, rocks, roots, and elevation. Sometimes there's some pavement and gravel too. Can I walk? Yes. But the CLAW won't be walking. Are there aid stations? Yes. There will be water, basic hydration, and snacks at the start/finish line. This is a cupless event, so bring your own bottle or hydration system. What should I bring? Trail shoes, a hydration system, layers (depending on the weather), and the will to survive. Is THE CHASE for beginners? Yes. You don't need to be fast to finish, but faster is better if you want to ESCAPE.

US Road Running Races US Road Running races are built for runners and walkers who like friendly, low-pressure race days with just enough competition to keep things exciting. Our events are local, welcoming, and easy to jump into, whether you are chasing a PR, collecting another themed medal, working toward series points, or just getting outside with good people. Most races are small enough to feel personal but organized enough to feel official. You can expect a clear course, helpful race staff, finisher medals, results, and a relaxed community feel. Bring your fast shoes, your steady walking pace, your favorite running buddy, or your best “I signed up for this on purpose” smile. We will be glad to see you at the start line. A quick race-day note: because many US Road Running events are small local races, we normally have one or two staff members at each race. EMS is not stationed on site, and water stations are limited to the finish area at the end of each lap and at the race finish.
