2013 CARA Runners’ Choice Circuit
The CARA Runners’ Choice Circuit is a competitive series of races run in the Chicago metro 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 (see below). 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. Races in this Runners Choice Circuit are expected to pursue CARA certification and comply with CARA’s Best Practices Guidelines.
The Oak Park Runners Club fields a team every year in as many categories as possible. No matter how fast you run you can help the club by attending as many CARA Circuit races as possible.
