Planning a new race or location this year? Below is a quick list of races, dates and locations of races from 2009-2011. Some are annual events while others are first-time races, but it's always a good idea to see what's already happening to avoid potential conflicts. This list may not include every single race in the area but it should give you a good idea of what else is already happening.

Many thanks to Walt Greene, who is in charge of HARRC Finish Line Services, who has provided this list. If you're looking for race timing services in the immediate Harrisburg Area, please email him at wcg254@comcast.net.
