It’s looking like we will be running virtual races for quite some time. I keep getting updates from races almost every day. Some are hopeful postponements, but most are facing reality and going right to virtual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope you have had a chance to sign up for the Stepping Stones for Stella<\/strong> 5K or 10K. Melrose has 10 runners signed up so far. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are even taking race day registrations, so you can sign up anytime between now and June 21st!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Registration is free but please make a donation if you are able to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Stepping<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

High5Em provides details on how to record and report your results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Jennifer Tinney 4th of July Road Races<\/strong> have gone virtual also. I have updated the links to the right so you can sign up anytime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 5 and 2.5 mile runs are $25 and the 1 mile run is $20. You will only get Racing Series points for one race, but you are welcome to run them all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 5 miler is worth 2 points, the 2.5 and 1 milers are worth 1 point. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Melrose Wakefield Healthcare STRIDE FOR HEALTHY COMMUNITIES 5K RUN\/WALK is still looking like a live event on August 12th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The race is managed by the hospital and a group of nurses, so maybe they know something The Governor doesn’t? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a fun mid-week (Wednesday) run around our own Lake Q and the funds go to a good cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know that virtual races aren’t everyone’s cup of tea but it’s alls we got!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m looking forward to the Blue Cross Blue Shield Island Run in September, but three months out is a light year these days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll continue to keep an eye on things and try to keep everyone up to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking forward to seeing you all someday,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
