Hi Everyone,<\/p>\n

The 2018 Melrose Racing Series is kicking off\u00a0 with the\u00a044th Annual 15K Great Stew Chase<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>in Lynn on Sunday<\/strong> January 28th<\/strong> at 10 AM.<\/p>\n

The out and back course starts from the Briarcliff Lodge at 177 Lynnfield Street., Lynn and goes to Centennial Park in Peabody. It returns on a similar course to finish in front of the K of C. A water stop at 3 and 6.5 miles. All miles are marked. The course is wheel measured with one “memorable” hill at the half way point.<\/p>\n

Registration is $22 all in until January 26th. Race day registration is $25.00. There are no teams to join for this race. Just wear your colors and come and have some fun.<\/p>\n

Cupids Chase 5K<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"cupid'sOn February 10th<\/strong> we have our second race of the series, the Cupids Chase 5K in Wakefield.\u00a0 The race starts at 10 AM and is very familiar to all of us.<\/p>\n

The race starts and ends at the Lakeside Inn, 595 North Ave, Wakefield, MA.<\/p>\n

Registration in $29 for Individuals and $35 for Couples.<\/p>\n

Day of registration is $35 for Individuals and $65 for Couples.<\/p>\n

There are no teams for this race either. Cold Sam Adams will be served after the race to all who are of age.<\/p>\n

The Malden Rotary Road Race<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"\"New for 2018, The Malden Rotary Road Race offers both a 5K and 10K.<\/p>\n

The race is March 24th<\/strong> with the 10K starting at 9:30 and the 5K at 10 AM.<\/p>\n

The race is based out of\u00a0Monsignor Foley Hall, Cheverus School, Ferry Street, Malden, Massachusetts 02148.<\/p>\n

Post race party includes\u00a0Mimosas, Bloody Marys and Brunch at the Dockside Restaurant, Centre Street, Malden.<\/p>\n

Registration is $30 for the 10K and $25 for the 5K. No team for this race.<\/p>\n

This is a less expensive and more convenient race than last year’s Craicfest 5K.<\/p>\n

April Race<\/h3>\n

The race for April is still not decided.\u00a0 I was planning on the FSI for Autism 5K in Everett, but they still have not posted a date. I’ll give them a few more weeks. If they do not hold the race this year, we will go back to the April Fool’s 4 Miler.<\/p>\n

The April Fool’s race is March 31st. A Saturday, but also another March race.<\/p>\n

I selected mostly Saturday races this year so that Sunday Long Runners can still participate in the Racing Series. The Great Stew Chase is on a Sunday, but everyone seemed to enjoy that race.<\/p>\n

Run well my Friends!<\/p>\n
