Who Wants a Free Singlet?

By: Geoff Dunbar

We're re-instating the "free singlet for NHGP racers" program for 2022. So, get out there and help the UVRC return to victory in this competition against the other New Hampshire clubs!

The New Hampshire Grand Prix is a series where the clubs of New Hampshire compete to see who is the best running club. Should be UVRC, right? This year the series is:

  • Virtual Track 5K – Any Track, 4/3 – 10/16
  • Nashua Soup Kitchen 10K – Nashua, NH, 4/3
  • Skip’s Run 4M – Lebanon, NH, 6/19
  • Sandown 5M – Sandown, NH, 8/6
  • Delta Dental 1/2 Marathon – Concord, NH, 10/23

We need you to show up! Due to changes in NHGP scoring for 2022, the series emphasizes overall participation more than in the past. So, if you can run a 10K, you can help the UVRC! Even if you don't think of yourself as a "racer", you are! The race is at a civilized 1 p.m., we've got a carpool going, no excuses, let's get out there.

"What's this about a free singlet?" you say. Well, if you run 2 of the "away" races (of which there are only 3), free singlet! If you run any 3 of the races (including the "Virtual Track 5K"), free singlet! Should be a piece of cake.

"But I want to wear my singlet before I've done 2 races!" you say. Well, if you commit to doing 2 or 3 of the races, as above, I will get you a singlet right away! (I do have to note that due to supply chain issues our recent order is scheduled to come pretty soon _after_ the Nashua race, so sizes are a bit limited. I'll do the best I can.)

"I can't commit," you say. I understand. Commitment is a big deal. I dated Nancy for five years before we got married. And that is a _much_ smaller deal than the UVRC participating in the NHGP. No worries, you can click here to just buy a singlet. Click on "UVRC Singlets", they are $35 (at cost), and you are set. Contact me or Krissy Flythe if you have trouble.

One small note: I'm not going to carefully track race participation and singlet earning. If you participate in the correct number of races, let me know and I'll get you the singlet. It's up to you to do the bookkeeping. Don't feel guilty, though. I _want_ to give you a singlet!
