Hello, UVRC!
While we might see a few more flakes fall before we put away all of our cold weather gear, I still think it’s safe to say that spring has sprung! As I have come to learn in this, my third spring in the Upper Valley, the official kick-off to the season has nothing to do with the date of the equinox. but rather, the running of the Shamrock Shuffle. What a beautiful spring day it was for a 5k! It was awesome to see so much UVRC gear out on the course and at the finish line – y’all really represented! It was also so heartening to share enthusiastic greetings with everyone I saw rocking their UVRC gear, whether we knew each other or not. Community and vitamin D are good for the soul.
We look forward to continuing to build that community in the warmer months through shared laps around the ol’ oval at TNT, shared carbs with melted cheese at Runner’s Night Out, more races in the Upper Valley Running Series, and, new this year, a June campout in conjunction with the Mount Washington Road Race. See details in the announcements section below!
Happy Mud Season, folks. Dry trails are right around the corner!
