MRT Fall Series 5K Race #9 **

21° at the START line this morning....

Tuesday nights belong to  the Iredell County Fall Race Series hosted by McLelland Racing Team (MRT). The Series began October 1st and will end on November 28th with a Thanksgiving Day 10K and each race is only $10 with an option to buy a series shirt if interested.  Short sleeved shirts are $15 (from previous race series) and long sleeved are $25.

All races support a community cause, each unique to the race itself.  MRT supports local charities and resources so it's money well spent. Each race takes place in beautiful Iredell County at various community sites.  

Locations are listed on the Fall Flyer (Facebook) or in the race listing (RacesOnline).


This race was the only morning run in the series and the location was the Youth Soccer Complex in Iredell County - the final race of the series.  I personally have completed 7 of the 9 events which puts my name on the list of Series Participants eligible for awards but at present I have no idea if I will actually place.  The MRT Running Club will host a group dinner on December 3rd and I'm sure finalists will be awarded then.  Congratulations to all who won!

This race was also a 5K / 10K event meaning runners had a choice of distances.  I ran with two friends and all three of us won awards for our age groups making it a really great day not to mention a wonderful beginning for Thanksgiving Day!  

Official Time:  47:25
2nd Place for Age Group 45-49
