Upper Valley Running Series April 2024 Update
By: Geoff Dunbar
Great work to all the UVRC runners who ran the Lebanon Shamrock Shuffle 5K in March! I didn’t do a careful count, but rumor has it over 100 of us. That marks the second race in the Upper Valley Running Series (UVRS), and a great event for the club.
The next race in the series is new to the UVRS this year. On Sunday, April 14, it’s the Lake Morey Icebreaker 5-Miler. It promises to be a very scenic race around Lake Morey, and I’m looking forward to a new race.
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.
“But I missed the first race!” No problem, you only need to run 7 of the 11 (9 remaining) races to get the sweet finisher prize. Even if you don’t make it to 7, you can still come out and have a great time!
“Sounds fun, how do I participate?” As long as you are an up-to-date UVRC member, all you have to do is show up and run! Full series registration has closed, but you can just sign up for each race through the normal race registration (even day-of is OK). As long as you are a UVRC member you are part of the series.
“What if I’m injured, don’t want to race, or have a family member along who doesn’t want to run?” How about volunteering? Prizes available. See the March newsletter “Volunteering” article for details.
“Sounds great, I’ll see you out there, UVRC!”
