Tortoise & Hare Sports has partnered with the City of Peoria to launch the new Peoria Runners Series. The Series is a collection of eleven races that take place in the City of Peoria throughout the year. Runners who register for these events will earn points for participation and results.

The top 100 point earners at the end of the Series calendar (the series will always end with the Peoria Pioneer Day’s 5K Race in April) will receive an entry into a prize lottery. All runner’s that participate in 5 events will automatically receive an additional prize entry and runners that participate in 8 events will receive two additional prize entries. (maximum of three prize entries per individual).

We are excited to announce that the Grand Prize for this year’s Runner’s Series will be airfare, hotel, and race entry fees for two to participate in the 2013 San Francisco Marathon in July, 2013. Additonal prizes will also be provided by our sponsors. All prizes will be announced during the Peoria Pioneer’s Day event.

Want to join? All you have to do is register for a Peoria Runner’s Series Event. The Series kicks off with the City of Peoria Pioneer Days 5K Race on April 14, 2012. Please see the Race Calendar below for a full list Series Events.
