The Upper Valley Running Series (UVRS) rambles on! Congratulations to all the runners of the Triple Dam 10K down in Perkinsville, VT. I missed it with a calf injury but I understand it was a successful inaugural event.
Depending on when you're reading this, the next race is September 7th, in Sharon VT: it's the Sprouty 5K/10K (https://www.thesprouty.com/)! This late summer race has been in the UVRS for years and is good fun for all, with a fast 5K and a challenging 10K.
Or, if the Sprouty has already gone, how about October 27th, the Tiger Run 5K/12K in Enfield NH? Another Upper Valley classic. (https://sites.google.com/view/tigerunnh/home)
So, what is this UVRS that you’re hearing so much about? It’s our club’s series of local road races. Full information: http://bit.ly/uvrs2024.
Full-series registration is closed for the year, but you can still participate in the series. As long as you are an up-to-date UVRC member, you can just sign up for each race through the normal race registration (even day-of is OK). You’ll get credit as a series participant.
For 2024, you need to run 7 (of the 11) races to get the finisher prize. With 3 races to go, I think you can still get there (hopefully you've already done at least 4)!
If you don’t want to race, or have a family member along, who doesn’t want to run, consider volunteering. Prizes available. See the March newsletter “Volunteering” article for details.
