Racing Updates

• I heard a rumor that there was record attendance for the July 4th Red, White, and Blue 6.2 and 5k! Way to show up!
• While it wasn’t an official race we had our biannual track 5K on July 23! Great attendance and some killer times! I heard a few people even PR’d! If you missed it and have FOMO, worry not! There will be an end-of-season track 5k as well. (Hopefully when it is slightly cooler). And that one will have pizza!
• Coming up in August is a new entry in the Upper Valley Running Series (UVRS) that is put on by one of our own UVRC members, Sean Meissner! The Triple Dam 10K is on August 25. Let's get out there to show our support and make this inaugural race one to remember!

Tuesday Night Track

We are on for our summer schedule which means that effective immediately we will be on the Dartmouth Track @ 5:30 p.m.! The entrance is in the Northwest corner closer to the baseball fields. And we will be there come rain or shine! 

Summer Runner’s Night Outs

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!

• August 13th
• September 10th
• October 8th

Saturday Morning Runs

REMEMBER! Saturday morning runs will be at 8 a.m. instead of 9 a.m. to beat some of the summer heat. We will 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. Afterward, we meet on the Leb Green for baked goods or head over to Lucky’s Coffee for some breakfast!
