Road Championships (2023)

To view the list of races, scroll down this page.

This year to qualify for a trophy, you need to do 7 races with at least one of the races being classified in our list as a long race (a long race is one of the races on the list 10 miles or over, or it can be your marathon challenge) in the road champs.

You can still qualify for a coveted road championship participation badge if you complete 7 races of any distance (so you can do 7 short and no longs) but you cannot qualify for a trophy if they are all short races.
