Each year, we award the top male and female in the series with $250 and a genuine Irish kilt! To keep the competition fair, finishing times are gender and age-graded—think of it as running’s version of a golf handicap. Age grading levels the field, so runners of all ages have a fair shot at the prize.

Sign up for the Wild Rover Series or any individual race, and you’re automatically entered to win a Wild Rover Series hoodie! For every 50 entries, one lucky runner will score this awesome prize. All participants are eligible, and winners will be notified via email and announced on our Wild Rover Facebook page.

Calling all running clubs, teams, and groups! Bring your crew and compete to win a $200 bar tab at each race. The crew with the most entries win! Both series and individual entries count, so just make sure to declare your team or club name during registration. May the best (and most numerous!) team win!

Think you can outrun your friends? Sure, maybe. But, can you out-costume them? Join us for one or all Wild Rover Series races and strut your stuff in your most dazzling Irish attire. Each race crowns one winner—group or individual—for the coveted Best Costume Award.

Here’s how it works: After finishing, it’s time to turn on the charm. Whether you step dance, do an Irish jig, or simply parade your outfit around for the judges, it’s your moment to shine. The judges will deliberate, and the winner will be announced after the parade. So, grab your green, gold, and shamrock sparkles—let’s make this a race to remember!
