If you or anyone you know has run a PR or had a significant accomplishment, please let me know!

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!

The next NHGP race is the Granite State 10 miler in Concord on Sept 22nd. We’re currently in the lead of the New Hampshire Grand Prix series, but Upper Valley and Greater Derry are hot on our heels. We’ll need a full team effort to maintain our lead. Sign up at https://gs10smiler.com/ and let Mark Furler know so we’re covered in all age groups. So far this year we’ve had 66 different runners score points for Gate City in the NHGP. Every Runner Counts, Every Point Counts.
