OneSource and Wilkes Barre Racing are proud to bring back the Fastest Man Series for 2012. The 2011 inaugural season was incredible and attracted athletes that included an Argentine Olympian, Claudia Camargo-Nero, and USA National Triathlon Team member, Kelly Ciravolo. The 2011 men's title was won by NCAA All-American, Nick Hilton, who ran the River Street Mile in an astounding 4:14:11!

This year we have added a deeper series prize purse, $200 bonus for breaking a course record, and cash awards for the River Street Mile. Misericordia Track Coach Chris Wadas will be recruiting elite athletes from across the northeast.

The series has three one-mile courses:
  Kirby Park Dirt Track Mile, August 15, 2012 at 7:00pm
  The Giants Despair Hill Climb, August 22, 2012 at 7:00pm
  The River Street Mile, August 31, 2012 at 7:00pm

AWARDS

The final race will be held on Friday, August 31, 2012 at the Wilkes Barre River Commons during the registration and expo for the Wendy's Wonderful Kids Half Marathon. Runners will finish under the lights and in front of a large crowd. Awards will be given immediately following the last race.
Download the Elite Athlete Flyer for information about the distribution of cash awards.

BLING

Sign up for the series and get a tech shirt, water bottle or other fun stuff provided by our sponsors. Races will be held on weeknights in summer so as not to interfere with established weekend races or family time.
