Ralph's Station in the Vermont 50 Kilometer Race has been staffed by the UVRC for at least a decade.  The race supports a great cause, adaptive sports.  Giving back is especially good for endurance runners like everyone in our club. Think about volunteering like Sarah, Hillary and me next year.  It takes 6-8 volunteers, so race coordinators send us extra help.

Race Director Mike Silverman gives us a gem of a time and location.  We start early on a Sunday morning at 7.1 miles, finish by 10 am, soak up the Vermont-country-road-leaf-peeper scene and cheer on the long-distance athletes.  It feels good and we have fun. Several runners told us we were the strongest and most above average aid station volunteers.  We realized this was their first stop but did not argue.
