Club Announcements

Tuesday Night Track

Until Spring our TNT workouts will continue to be at Occom Pond which is approximately 1 mile in circumference and usually illuminated. We will meet here just across from the Dartmouth Outing Clubhouse at 5:30 p.m.

We also will start bringing back Hill Workouts!!! We will be going up and down Tuck Drive to work those oh-so-important glute muscles. When we meet for hill workouts it will be at the base of Tuck Drive here. Be sure to keep an eye out on your emails for location updates. Usually, this will be the first Tuesday of the month (weather dependent).

Jingle Bell Run on December 13

Come Join us for the Jingle Bell Run and Cookie Exchange!! Wednesday, December 13 at 6 p.m.

Every year in December we like to do a little fun run to get into the holiday spirit and get one last hang out before folks begin to dissipate for the holidays and to round off the year! The Jingle Bell Run is a quick jaunt around Hanover where we put on as many bells as possible and jingle our way through Hanover, then of course come back to Ramuntos and eat pizza!

We also will be handing out the UVRS Finisher prizes so if you are a UVRS finisher please head on down to pick up your prize!! Note that we will have the prizes available afterwards as well but getting them at the JBR has the added benefit of coming with pizza!

Lastly, we will be raffling off UVRC Swag and also we will be having our annual cookie exchange where I intend to hold on to my title as “The Cookie King”. If you want a shot at the throne, bring a dozen or so of your best cookies to exchange with others (and please keep track of the ingredients so those with allergies can be aware). And while it is not necessary you are welcome to bring a small gift (<$30 inflation -_-) to be raffled off or exchanged even if it’s just a bottle of wine that someone brought to your house and left there and you have absolutely no intention of ever drinking but don’t want it to go to waste. I see you.
