HPRA Races and Speed Challenge Qualifier
For the first time this year, qualifier events will be run on an alternate course to allow racers to compete for the right to run on SR305. This means that anyone with a fast bike can come to the event and if they are among the fastest qualifiers, they will be able to race on SR 305. Currently two positions are open to qualifiers.

The qualifier runs are to be held Monday through Friday mornings. In order to qualify for a Rt. 305 run, you will need to go 80% of a pace run that Sam Whittingham will run on the airport frontage road. This newly repaved course features a 2 mile run up, then 200 Meter traps, then a 3/8 mile shutdown area. This road is very straight and flat with a slight curve. Qualification for women will be at a smaller percentage of Sam's pace. 

HPRA races will be held on Friday and Saturday (see schedule of events). Don't be intimidated, come race with us!
