2025 UVRC Membership Renewal Now Open:

It's that time of year again! We're gearing up for 2025 and registration for the club is now open! You can register HERE on the Lebanon Recreation, Arts and Parks website. You'll see a tab for UVRC & Running, from there you can choose 2025 UVRC Membership (either individual or family rate). You'll be prompted to log in and might need to choose those same options again.

If you are feeling generous, consider donating to UVRC to help ensure we can keep all the amazing parts of our club running. There is a Donations tab on the sign-up page, which allows donations in $5 increments based on the number of times you click when you are logged in. This is a zero pressure situation. 

As a reminder, yearly membership dues get you access to:

• Weekly group runs and weekly workouts
• 15% discount on running equipment/related goods (i.e. energy products) at Omer and Bob’s 
• 10% discount on running gear/related goods at Stateline Sports
• This great Monthly Newsletter 
• Racing team
• Automatically scored in the Upper Valley Running Series
• Access to UVRC Running apparel and other swag
• UVRC social events (Runner's Night Out, summer picnic, banquet, Jingle Bell Run!)

In the beginning of the new year, we’ll be updating our email lists to reflect 2025 membership, so be sure to renew now to keep receiving workouts, group run emails, UVRS updates, and all the good stuff.

THANK YOU for keeping UVRC running! We are so grateful for this community. 

Social Calendar:

Our annual Jingle Bell Run will be on Tuesday December 10th! We’ll meet at Ramunto’s at our usual TNT time - 5:30 - but instead of a workout, we’ll run a few festive, easy miles around Hanover together and return for pizza, desserts, and a raffle! Come with lights! A holiday outfit! A baked good! A raffle item! Or just your holiday cheer :) 

Tuesday Night Track: We’ve officially moved to our winter location at Occom! We meet at the pin here three Tuesdays a month at 5:30. On the second Tuesday of the month (except for December for the Jingle Bell Run), we will continue our tradition of dripping sweat on Tuck Drive. On those days, we meet at the bottom of the hill, also at 5:30. There is parking available at both locations. Plan to run at these locations until the spring!

With daylight savings behind us, this is a crucial time of year to stay visible running. PLEASE run with a headlamp (at a minimum) and wear a reflective vest or other reflective clothing if you have them. Even if you can see cars coming, that doesn’t mean they can see you! A few quick notes about TNT if you haven’t come:

• The Coach thinks of a workout that is challenging to help you push yourself
• It is a workout meaning it's a time to work on your speed and endurance. That being said, in these darker, colder, snowier months, it can be hard to go fast. Come ready to work on your “race pace effort” and worry less about “race pace”. The fact that you’re willing to show up and run means you’re already putting in the work. There’s no need to be a “racer” to work hard. 
• YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO THE WORKOUT AS PRESCRIBED! It is a recommendation and a good alignment point for you and your fellow runners. You can totally choose to do more or less or modify as needed. You can also come at 5:30 and run your normal run pace amongst your clubmates. 
• Show up and run even if you don’t think you can or want to do the workout! I promise you it’s easier to work hard in a group of motivated peers than to do the workout on your own
• It’s for everyone. All paces.  

Runner’s Nights Out: Every Second Tuesday of the month we head over to Hanover Ramuntos for free pizza on the club! Come hang out with your pals after Tuesday Night Track, and eat FREE PIZZA!

• December 10th - Jingle Bell Run
• January 14th
• February 11th

Saturday Morning Runs: Saturday morning runs will continue to start at 9AM until the Spring. We meet in front of Omer and Bobs for a chiller social run. People break out into groups based on pace and route and head off. Afterwards we meet on the Leb Green for baked goods or head over to Lucky’s Coffee for some breakfast!
