INTRODUCING THE 2024

BackRoads Running Series

The BackRoads Running Series offers events for everyone that are fun, inclusive and unique. The events are fun runs that include destination runs that start and finish at different locations, team relay runs and our popular 800m track run. It goes without saying that all of our events end with a party wherever the run takes us.
