For the first time, NIRCA runners will take to the roads to stake claim to team & individual national championships, when the NIRCA 2011 Road Championships take place on April 2 in Bloomington, IN. This championship will be contested over the half marathon distance, with the event being held in conjunction with the IU Mini Marathon. Cross country-style team scoring will decide the team titles, with a team's top 3 finishers determining their finish.
