February 17th, 2017 No comments

Tomorrow is supposed to be a great day for a run with highs in the 40s!

Come show your MRC colors at the Cupid’s Chase 5K.

This one is right in our back yard and on a course many of us have run many times. If you are running the Sunday Long Run, this will be a nice warm up event for you!

I encourage all MRC runners to wear their colors and come run a fun local race!

Race Day Registration and bib pickup begins at 8AM.

Day of Fees: Individuals $35 Couples $65

Race start time is 10AM

If you are new to the club and maybe have never ran a 5K before, this is a nice flat course for you! Come join the gang and have a wicked good time!

Did I mention that they are serving Sam Adams after the race?

Cupid’s Chase 5K postponed

February 12th, 2017 No comments

As most of you know, the Cupid’s Chase 5K was postponed.

The sidewalks around Lake Quannapowitt were plowed but not well enough to accommodate a large group of runners. While most runners would have run in the street, the snow banks made the roads narrow and more dangerous for runners.

I hope that postponing the race to February 18th won’t inconvenience too many people. I know I plan my races around work and family events. Sometimes I race two weekends in a row and a situation like this would be an issue.

Winter Weather

This time of year anything can happen. Two years ago snowmageddon started this way. A good storm the week after The Super Bowl and then one storm right after the other.

The Sunday Long Run was a challenge this weekend. It was snowing, the streets were narrow and the side walks were in rough shape.

There is a blizzard watch being posted sometime Sunday. Hopefully it wont amount to much and there will be time to clean it up before next weekend.

So hang in there and I’ll look to see you next week in Wakefield!
