Developed by Timex in 1989, in conjunction with the branch associations of Athletics Canada, the TNRRS has over 110 races with an excess of 140,000 participants. The TNRRS reflects the growing popularity in 5 KM and 10 KM running as we continue to see the base of participation increase each year.

The TNRRS is an integral part of the road running scene in Canada, designed for all runners from the beginner to the elite competitor. By running one of the official Timex Road Race Series events, you are entered in the series and accumulating points. See the results area for your official points standing.

The Timex Road Race Series culminates in the National 10 KM Final - Canadian 10 KM Road Race Championships - held at the end of the provincial series season.
