2012 CARA Circuit Races

cara logo

The 2012 CARA Runners’ Choice Circuit is a competitive series of races in the Chicago area. CARA members can compete in this circuit of races for points and year-end awards in Overall, Individual Age Group, Clydesdale and Club competitions. This Circuit was assembled with the input of CARA’s membership, the CARA Racing Committee, the CARA staff and CARA Board of Directors.

The purpose of a competitive circuit is to determine the best all-around runners and not favor either short or long distance runners. It also offers Chicago area runners of all ages and abilities the opportunity to pursue personal goals, earn awards and experience the camaraderie of fellow runners.
