Log in, choose the Adult Sports & Programs tab, choose Upper Valley Running Club, then 2026 UVRC Membership (either individual or family rate).
You’ll notice an increase of $5.00 dollars across the board for all paid-for programming. This increase is to help with the behind-the-scenes work that Leb.

- Social events throughout the year! And the opportunity to win prizes and swag!
- Weekly workouts with Tuesday Night Track (TNT)
- Runners Night Out (RNO) every 2nd Tuesday of the month at Hanover Brick & Brew with free slices and social time. Participation at TNT is not required in order to attend RNO.

Save the Date 6/27 – Volunteers Needed for Mount Washington Road Race
UVRC has provided volunteers for the Mount Washington Road Race for years, and we are hoping to round up another crew of amazing humans this year. The race is on Saturday, June 27th. We are in charge of post-race parking, as drivers bring runners back down to the starting area at the base. It’s a pretty easy gig, and in exchange, volunteers get all the feel-good vibes the volunteering brings about, and UVRC gets four bypass entries into the race for anyone who wants to run but does not get in via the lottery.
RELATED: Save the Date for the 2nd Annual UVRC Campout
UVRC will be hosting a campout at Barnes Field at the Dolly Copp Campground, just a few short miles from the start of the Mount Washington Road Race, June 26th-28th. It’s a great place for MWRR volunteers and racers to hang for the weekend, as well as anyone else who wants to spend a summer weekend in the Whites with some running friends! More details to come.
