Racing News
We have both a NHGP race and a UVRS Race in May!
Coming up first is the Cinco de Miles 5k in Bedford, NH May 7th!. You can still sign up here: https://www.millenniumrunning.com/cinco and don’t forget to indicate that you are part of UVRC to score us some points!
And we will be having a vanpool down and you can sign up or that here: https://secure.rec1.com/NH/city-of-lebanon/catalog?filter=c2VhcmNoPTI1NDAyNDQ=
And to quote Jim The NH Grand Prix is a team based competition with other running clubs across NH. UVRC members that run should indicate they are a UVRC member when they sign up (one of the sign-up options at the bottom) for automatic scoring. There is a prize for individuals who run in 5 of the 6 races so if you want that prize (possibly your face carved into Mt. Washington) and you did not run in Nashua you need to start now. All runners, regardless of prizes, are encouraged.
And then a local favorite due to the beautiful views and ability to take a nice dip in Silver Lake is the BarnArts Race Around the Lake May 21st! If you aren’t part of the UVRS you can sign up for the race here: https://runsignup.com/Race/VT/Barnard/BarnArtsRaceAroundtheLake
And there will likely be a vanpool for that as well so stay tuned for that!
Club News
Have you ever been out on the roads, surrounded by cars and other pedestrians and though “man I sure am tired of civilization, I want to run in nature!” Well, good news! We are in the process of merging with our good friends the Upper Valley Trail Runners and will be scheduling trail runs! Let us know (contact@uppervalleyrunningclub.org) if you’re interested in trail running, have suggestions for local trails, or would be interested in leading a run!
