2009 Series Information
The Triple Crown of Running Series begins on June 14, 2009 with the Garden of the Gods 10-Mile Run® in one of the most spectacular and challenging venues anywhere. Then, on July 5, 2009 enjoy the Summer Roundup Trail Run 12K. Finally, on August 15th and 16th, run either the Pikes Peak Ascent® or the Pikes Peak Marathon® as the final leg of the TCR Series.


2009 Registration
Registration for the 2009 series will begin in March of 2009. Select one of the race logos above for race registration details.

Notice:
If you intend to run the Triple Crown of Running series you MUST get registered for the Pikes Peak Ascent® and/or Pikes Peak Marathon® while registration for those races is still open!!! Although some spots have been set aside for series runners there is no telling how fast they will go. Therefore, we suggest you register early!


Results
Series results are based on the cumulative race times for the Garden, Roundup and either the Ascent or the ascent portion of the Marathon. If you run the Marathon, you must complete the race but only your ascent time will count for the series standings. For those who run both the Ascent and Marathon (The Double) the faster ascent time will be used for series scoring. As each race occurs the scoring system will identify those who have competed in each prior race but in order to help the process please register the same for all three races.

Standings for those participating in the series will be posted on this site and the PPRR website after the Roundup and Pikes Peak events. Series results also will be published in the annual results booklet. For all series participants, there will be an awards event in September. In addition to Series awards, there is also a video of the races and plenty of great food. If you complete the Series we hope you and your loved ones will plan to attend the ceremony!
