It's that time of year again, race season is about to hit full steam. Rogue Valley Race Group is proud to announce the 2014 Multi-Sport Race Series, and it's expanded! This means that there are a lot more chances to earn valuable points, and earn the coveted end of year honors. It doesn't matter whether you are a trail runner, mountain biker, road cyclist, swimmer, or multi-sport athlete, their is a race for you. Also, in our original creation of the race series, we were hoping to get athletes to try different races that they normally wouldn't participate in. Just like last year, you can still earn points for volunteering at the featured races. So let's say flying down the Ashland single track on a mountain bike or swimming in Applegate Lake makes you a bit nervous, if you don't want to push yourself out of your comfort zone, you can still volunteer, get points, and be part of the action! Without further delay, it's time to announce the schedule for this year's race series.
