Who is the Wild Rover of the Merrimack Valley?

Each year, we award $250 along with an authentic Irish Kilt to the top male and female in the series. Finishing times are gender and age-graded to put everyone on a level playing field. As Runner's World put it, “If the phrase “age-graded” makes you scratch your head, think of it like a golf handicap. It's basically a method of scoring races that the oldest and the youngest runners “compete” head-to-head, even though they may not be racing for the finish line next to one another. Here's everything you need to know about the math, and how the calculation of our age-graded score can actually help you become a better runner.” Note: Only in-person entrants are eligible.
