Thank you to everyone who participated in the 2019 Republican River Fitness Series.

We had hundreds of participants, logging thousands of miles in 2019. And we are looking forward to a great 2020, which will have a few changes:

The website is updated with all the race information for 2020. Please visit www.republicanriverfitnessseries.com to check out the dates and register.

New for this year is the addition of the Run for UV in April!

This event is a relay race from Cambridge to McCook with teams of 6 to 10 runners. Since it is a team event and not a individual event, you will get 5 participation points only - no placement points. Team prizes will be handed out.

The same point system applies to the Old Settlers Adventure Run in August since it is also a team event.

Randy’s Run has merged into the Zombie Run in October with the half-marathon added back! So those of you wanting to do a half have until Oct 24 to train.

We also would like to take a moment and thank McCook Community Hospital for their generous financial support for the 2020 season. Without their generosity, the series would not exist.

And thank you to all our volunteers, sponsors and family and friends, who make getting out and being healthy so much fun! Have a great 2020!
