We had another Sea of Red on Sunday at the Granite State 10 Miler! Such a strong showing. Overheard one person early in the race commenting that there were “A lot of you in red” out there.. I’m still waiting for the results to be updated with the team scores to see how we ended up doing. But lots of great performances on a tough course! (I’m not sure I want to see that hill at mile 5.5 again anytime soon

Congrats also to everyone who raced Lone Gull 10k (NEGP) on Sunday! Every Runner Counts, Every Point Counts!

It’s almost time to start thinking about defending our Mill Cities Title. We’ll start collecting names soon. Save the date: December 8th! #QuestForTwelveStraightTitles
