Upstate Race Series 2026

Upstate Race Series supports road races, trail races, cross country meets, and ultras from 5K upward in Upstate New York. The team collaborates with race directors, schools, nonprofits, and community groups. They manage chip timing, online registration via RunSignUp, live check-in, instant results, bib assignment, refunds, transfers, deferrals, fundraising tools, payout reports, and merchandise stores. The race-day services can include finish-line setup, a race clock, custom bibs, safety pins, shirts, signage, barricades, traffic cones, crowd control gear, porta-johns, insurance, food and retail vendors, and music or DJ services. They also assist with pre-race logistics, including permits, course design, registration pages, pricing, emails, logos, stickers, social media, club outreach, and calendar listings. Awards feature a local element: age-group medals and awards are handcrafted from hickory. The team offers 50 years of combined race directing and timing experience. Their promotion reaches local runners through UpstateRaceSeries.com, the Upstate Running Club calendar, and a club newsletter.
