To-date, PRRO Circuit events have produced 17 world and 17 U.S. road records, awarded more than $7.4 mil-
lion in prize money and seen more than 2.4 million runners cross their finish lines. In addition, since 1996, the
PRRO Championship race has paid out more than $1.8 million including $148,500 in PRRO Circuit Champion-

The PRRO Circuit, a long-time pioneer and champion of a clean sport, has funded drug testing at its events since
2006. All Circuit events pay for elite athlete drug testing, and athletes who have served a drug-related suspension
of two-years or longer are not eligible for travel and lodging expenses. During the 2017-18 season, more than 50
in-competition tests and an undisclosed number of pre-competition tests were conducted.
PRRO Championship and Circuit Year
The PRRO Circuit, launched in 1995, starts and finishes the Circuit Year at the same event that will also host the
season-ending PRRO Championship race. The reigning titlists of the PRRO Championship and the event win-
ners on the current Circuit are eligible to compete for the PRRO Super Bonus at the PRRO Championship.
