Club or Team Challenge

Calling all running clubs, teams, and groups! Bring your crew and compete to win a $200 bar tab at each race. The crew with the most entries win! Both series and individual entries count, so just make sure to declare your team or club name during registration. May the best (and most numerous!) team win!

 

Who is the Wild Rover of the Merrimack Valley?

Each year, we award the top male and female in the series with $250 and a genuine Irish kilt! To keep the competition fair, finishing times are gender and age-graded—think of it as running’s version of a golf handicap. Age grading levels the field, so runners of all ages have a fair shot at the prize.

Dressed to the Kilt
Costume Contest

Think you can outrun your friends? Sure, maybe. But, can you out-costume them? Join us for one or all Wild Rover Series races and strut your stuff in your most dazzling Irish attire. Each race crowns one winner—group or individual—for the coveted Best Costume Award.

 

Here’s how it works: After finishing, it’s time to turn on the charm. Whether you step dance, do an Irish jig, or simply parade your outfit around for the judges, it’s your moment to shine. The judges will deliberate, and the winner will be announced after the parade. So, grab your green, gold, and shamrock sparkles—let’s make this a race to remember!
