A few announcements and updates stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic:
The ADR Board is pleased to announce a partnership with the Coronapocalypse Virtual Race, hosted by Stasny Road Racing. This is a FREE event that will be non-scored and available to complete starting May 16 through June 6. This event has four distance options and completing this event will be counted as a participation race only (meaning no Grand Prix points awarded) as part of the ADR 2020 Grand Prix Series. Proceeds from any online donations from this event will benefit ADR’s Ashtabula County Track and Field Program.

The Ashtabula Greenway Trail 10K & 2 Mile, originally to be held on June 13, has been converted to a virtual race. The Ashtabula Green Way Trail 10K and 2 Mile Virtual Races will be conducted on your own anytime from June 13 through June 21. We are asking you to please complete your 10K or 2 Mile somewhere on the Greenway Trail as this is a course without traffic and a mostly flat place to complete your run.
Registration fee for the Ashtabula Greenway Trail 10K and 2 Mile Virtual Races: The 10K fee is $20. The 2 Mile is $15. This is an Ashtabula Distance Runners Club (ADR) Event. Club members receive $5 off registration fee. A code for 2020 ADR Members only will be posted on the 2020 ADR Members private Facebook page. If you are not on Facebook, please email the club at ashtabuladistancerunners@gmail.com to receive your discount code. Runners age 14 and younger are $5 (no further discount) if a parent is also signed up to run in this event. Any race profits will go to ADR Club to help fund scholarships, provide seed money for future races, the annual awards banquet, and other programs affiliated with ADR.
Overall and ADR Grand Prix scoring for 10K and 2 Mile Virtual races: Please be honest when reporting your times! Overall results for the Ashtabula Greenway Trail 10K and 2 Mile Virtual Races will be posted online as per usual on the ADR website. For 2020 ADR Members only, scoring for the 2020 Grand Prix will be compiled offline as follows: Top 6 overall male and female and top 5 in age group categories involving 2020 ADR Members only: 14 & younger, 15–19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70 and older. With a finishing time, additional points are also awarded to each runner per mile raced regardless of placement in the race. So either you do the 10K and get six (6) Grand Prix points or you get two (2) Grand Prix points for completing the 2 Mile race. Not both.
