Volunteer Challenge Update
The 2025 Volunteer Challenge is on! Every hour that you as a UVRC member spend volunteering at a race/running event or doing trail work will get you one ticket into a drawing for some sweet swag and prizes at the end of the year. Each time you volunteer at an event, email us at volunteering@uppervalleyrunningclub.org with the subject line “UVRC Volunteer Challenge”. Let us know the number of hours and at what event you volunteered. We’ll keep track of your hours for you until the big drawing at the end of the year!

Nordic Ski Opportunity
Hi Upper Valley Runners,
Want to get outside and get a little upper body conditioning this winter? Come join the Ford Sayre Nordic Club Masters Ski Program this winter! Programs start October 21, and you can register at the link below.
We had a great season last year, on snow for over 3 months on the new Oakhill Facility that features world class snowmaking, lights, grooming, and new trails. This year we are planning a range of activities for all skill levels including beginner lessons, intermediate and experienced instruction/skiing, social skis and activities, and very low-key Wednesday night races. Hope to see you out there!
