RRCA Championships Events


The RRCA Championship Event Series is one of the oldest distance running traditions in the US, dating back to 1958 when the RRCA awarded their first championship designation. The goal of the RRCA Championship Event Series is to shine a spotlight on well-run, community-based events, and to promote the sport of running by recognizing the top performing runners in the Open, Masters (40+), Grand Masters (50+), and Senior Grand Masters (60+) categories for both men and women as RRCA Champions.

The Chickamauga Battlefield Marathon serves as the 2023 RRCA Southern Region Championship for the marathon distance.

The Chickamauga Battlefield Half Marathon serves as the 2023 RRCA Georgia State Championships for half the marathon distance.

The Fort Oglethorpe 5k serves as the 2023 RRCA Georgia State Championships for the 5k distance.
