July Racing Update
By: Geoff Dunbar
Welcome to the July racing update! Summer is a great time to be a runner in the Upper Valley, isn't it?
New Hampshire Grand Prix
Look at that; after our home race, Skip's Run, UVRC is in FIRST in the NHGP! Plus, we had a great turnout to run the track 5K at TNT in June. Go team! However, it's not time to get complacent. We need to get out and put up results in the track 5K. Run anytime you like, submit your time here: https://www.runreg.com/nh-grand-prix-5000m
Then, the next race in the NHGP is the Sandown 5 Miler, August 6 in Sandown NH. It's a bit of a trek for us, and you can bet our competitor clubs are looking to get back at us. Let's get as many folks down as we can (vanpool details coming later): https://www.runreg.com/29th-annual-sandown-5-mile--5-k-road-race

Upper Valley Running Series
Race number two in the Upper Valley Running Series is complete; the Shaker Seven in Enfield. Great running, everyone! The UVRS site has links to the results for the S7, and current standings for the series: https://bit.ly/2022uvrs
The next race in the UVRS is The Under the Tree race, August 20 in Hartland VT. Again, the 10K is the scoring race, but the 5K is finisher eligible. See the website (above) for links to the races, as well as overall information on the series.
