Upper Valley Running Series

The UVRS is a series of existing road races in the Upper Valley. The goal is to encourage participation and competition in Upper Valley road races, with recognition for participation and performance. Runners who are members of the club at the time of the race do not need to register separately for the UVRS series; simply participating in the road races through the standard registration process qualifies a runner in the series. However, to score, you must be a member of the Upper Valley Running Club! More information on joining the club can be found here.

2023 Series

Please note that date and times of races are tentative and can change as each race approaches. We will try to keep this page as current as possible as we get more information.

You can sign up for the whole series at once (with a 25% discount)! Go to the:

Lebanon Recreation Website

Add look for the "UV Running Series".

For 2023, we have two registration options. Both are for the same set of events, the only difference is the race distance for events with multiple distances, "LONG" or "SHORT".

Remember that both distances are eligible for "Series Finisher" status, and prizes. However, only the longer option will score age group points, if that is important to you.

Also remember: if you don't want to commit to the whole series, you can always just register for each race a la carte; you still get series credit as long as you are an active UVRC member.

• Runners only get series points for completing the longer distance in races with multiple distances. Pay attention to this page to ensure you sign up for the correct distance! Completing the non-designated distance (in parenthesis above) will be eligible for series finisher status (though not points).

Scoring System

See the Scoring page.

Prizes

Prizes are awarded for Series Finisher status, 6 out of 9 races run (any distance). 2023 prizes to be determined; past prizes have included a jacket, a gear bag, etc.

Finishers of the 2023 UVRS will receive a guaranteed bypass into the 2024 Covered Bridges Half Marathon (link). Payment and registration for the race are still required.
