What SCORE has not announced yet
The 2027 schedule gives dates, the host town and the approximate distance, and nothing else. Start times, the course and its checkpoints, qualifying and contingency locations, spectator areas, ticket or hospitality prices and the broadcast line-up are all still to come; SCORE normally publishes a race-info sheet a few weeks before each event. This page is updated as each of those is published, so nothing here is an estimate.
