MRT 2026 5k

The MRT 5k is a 5K race held at the Statesville Soccer Complex. Races are scheduled throughout the year, forming a points-based championship series. While open to all participants, it provides local runners with a consistent season-long objective: to compete in sufficient races, achieve good placements, and accumulate points in the standings. To qualify for the Series Championship, runners must complete 12 races; each additional race earns another point. The scoring system recognizes overall winners, masters runners, and top placers within 5-year age groups, with all finishers receiving points. Completing all 20 races grants bonus points and a complimentary race entry for the following year. The top five male and female competitors in the final championship standings will receive prize money. Awards are presented to overall, masters, and age-group finishers. Dogs are prohibited on the course.
