The fourth race in the 2024 Upper Valley Running Series (UVRS) was the BarnArts Race Around the Lake 5K/10K. It was a lovely day in Barnard, and congratulations to all of the UVRC finishers of the race.

In June and July we’ve got a bunch of UVRS races!

• On June 16th (Father’s Day), it’s the Skip’s Run 4 miler in Lebanon NH.
• June 23rd, we’ve got the Shaker Seven 7 miler in Enfield NH.
• And the July 4th, it’s the Red, White and Blue 6.2 5K/10K in Lebanon NH.

Hope you’re spring training went well and injury free, because it’s time to race!

So, what is this UVRS that you’re hearing so much about? It’s our club’s series of local road races. Full information: http://bit.ly/uvrs2024. 

Full-series registration is closed for the year, but you can still participate in the series. As long as you are an up-to-date UVRC member, you can just sign up for each race through the normal race registration (even day-of is OK). You’ll get credit as a series participant.

For 2024, you need to run 7 (of the 11) races to get the finisher prize. If you’ve already run a couple of the races, it should be no problem! But even if not, you still have time to get 7 done.

If you don’t want to race, or have a family member along, who doesn’t want to run, consider volunteering. Prizes available. See the March newsletter “Volunteering” article for details.
