Upcoming Race: Skip's Run

By: Robert "RJ" Jones

Friends, I feel like Father’s Day doesn’t always get its fair shake. Obviously, Mothers are awesome and deserve all of the love in the world but so do Father’s! But Mother’s Day has cornered the market on brunch and who ever heard of Father’s Day dinner or lunch? If only there was some other tradition we could do to celebrate the Dads…oh wait there is!

The 2022 Skip Matthews Memorial Run in Lebanon that will return this year on Father's Day, Sunday, June 19!

  • Skip's Run will be the 3rd race in this year's NH Grand Prix Club Road Running Series.
  • Remember that your participation helps UVRC score Grand Prix points.
  • Registration for the 4-Mile Race and 1-Mile Fun Run/Walk is now open at www.skipsrun.org.
  • Race proceeds support the Dartmouth Cancer Center, formerly the Norris Cotton Cancer Center, at DHMC for brain tumor research.
  • Race Details: USATF certified course; Free wicking t-shirts to pre-registered runners for the 4-Mile Race; Awards; Post-race BBQ hosted by Salt hill Pub is FREE FOR ALL RUNNERS, VOLUNTEERS, and SPECTATORS!
  • There are still 5 or 6 available volunteer spots open this year for helping with race day activities. Please reach out to Paul Coats paul.coats@lebanonnh.gov if interested!
  • Many longstanding executive board members are retiring after this 17th edition of the event, so we're asking UVRC members to please consider joining the organizing team effort for next year. Reach out to contact@uppervalleyrunningclub.org if you’re interested!
