Upcoming Races and Local Race Results

  • FALL RUNNING SERIES! (5K's throughout the Fall

Yucca Duathlon

Robert and Matt represented Socorro in what is, essentially, the last triathlon or duathlon that any SSR's will do for this year's SWCS. Both did well, especially Matt who pulled in a first place! 

It should be interesting to see how the SWCS points tally up as Matt now has enough races to qualify for a place (he would be 2nd right now, I think) and Robert has plenty of races and may have enough points to grab 3rd! Also, Rheda will be happy to know that it *appeared* that no Athenas competed since she is fighting to stay one of the few Athenas to accomplish enough races. Stay tuned as the Point Totals are updated!
