MIDEAST REGION CLUB RACE SERIES
APRIL 15TH THROUGH NOVEMBER 1ST, 2011
To some athletes, the fact that the Grand Rapids Triathlon has been chosen as one of only three double point events in the 5-state region may not mean a lot, but to others, it can mean participating may help them win some cash.
Here is a further explanation from the MERCRS website:
Welcome to the 2011 Mideast Region Club Race Series (MERCRS). MERCRS is an annual race series sponsored by the USA Triathlon Mideast Region and its Regional Council. The Mission of the Mideast Region and its Regional Council is to encourage the multi-sport lifestyle and grow our sport by promoting USAT Triathlon registered clubs and USA Triathlon sanctioned regional events. MERCRS is organized and sponsored to encourage racing and friendly competition among USA Triathlon registered clubs within the Mideast Region. At stake is nothing less than regional bragging rights, big prize money and the coveted traveling trophy awarded to the one team that accumulates the most team points over the annual series.
