Trail Race Championship 2023

The following races formed the Steel City Striders Trail Championship 2023. There were 12 races on the calendar, but you weren’t expected to do all of them. For each race, you scored points based on how your time compared to the first-placed runner of the same sex, and your best five scores counted. At the end of the year, prizes were awarded to the top 2 men and women in senior, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, and 70+ age categories. Your age category was based on your age on January 1st, 2023.
