ROY SERIES
Space Coast Runners has hosted its annual Runner of the Year Series since 1982. We're getting ready to start our 42nd year, the ROY Series showcases 10 races around Brevard County, ranging from 1 mile to 26.2 miles. SCR members score points based on their finishing place overall or in their age groups. Earn points and you could win a ROY award. Run all of the series races and you'll receive the "Ran All Races" challenge award.
The 2024 - 2025 Runner of the Year Series is currently seeking sponsors. Gratium Wealth Planning is this season's Presenting Sponsor. We're also pleased to welcome Dr. Christine Klein of Embrace Health & Rehab as a Silver Sponsor. If you would like more information on how to become a SCR ROY Series sponsor, click here.
