HELP!!!!
Capital City Stampede is this Saturday, June 10 at 9 a.m.! Shannon desperately needs volunteers! The Sheriff just backed out and we really need help at State and Bailey to avoid smushed runners! She is short 6 people still, so please consider helping out! Email her today: shannonsalembier@gmail.com!
Paul Mailman 10 Miler and 5K is Sunday, June 25. You only get CVR/ORS Series points for the 10 Miler, but the 5K should be fun if you want to watch the 10 milers suffer at the finish after you’ve rested and eaten. Let Andy Shuford, andy.cvr@myfairpoint.net know if you can volunteer for Paul Mailman.
I know with this weather that it is hard to believe that July 3 is less than 4 weeks away. Tristan at ORS tells me that you haven’t responded to my announcement that the Montpelier Mile Registration is open. Save $10 by registering early, so get on it! I’ve never raced a mile in my life and think I’ll be signing up just to keep counting to 5 in my CVR/ORS points. New challenges are supposed to be good, right? And anybody watching can have a good laugh if they are so inclined. This is a really fun race for kids, and the family rate is lower, so also tell your friends and neighbors about it. This year, experience the race with chip timing instead of our stressful finishing chutes.
And next thing you know, it will be July 9 with the Stowe 8 Miler and Flying Onion 5K then July 15 for the 39th Annual Bear Swamp 5.7 Mile Race. Peak racing season is short, so just go for it! The schedule seems to slow down after mid July.
One other announcement from Allie Nerenberg:. Instead of volunteering at our next couple of races, Pam and Chris Eaton decided June 2 was a good time for baby Harley to enter the world (or Harley decided). I don’t know how much help they want or need, but Allie set up a Meal Train to give them a break while they figure out how to do this new job. If you’d like to be part of welcoming the newest CVR member into the club, here’s the link https://www.mealtrain.com/trains/wo9e21. Congratulations Pam and Chris!
