Early Winter Edition
CVR Birthdays this Week!
Happy Birthday to: Elizabeth McCarthy, Gerry Carlson, John Gardner-Morse, Sarah Richardson, Mary Nealon, Jill Sudhoff-Guerin and Asa Lloyd (new AG!)
Looks like winter has come early. So that should be a reminder for:
Winter Long Runs
These begin Saturday, December 1. Winter long runs are for anyone who wants to run with a group on Saturday morning. The run is at 9:30am at a different location every week and will continue into April 2019. A weekly email is sent with the location and details for the week. The usual distance is around 10 miles but there are usually options to do more or less, depending on the location for that week. Winter Long Runs are for everyone, fast or slow, and in the winter, most of us are slow. If you have been on the email list before, you will continue to be. If you would like to be added or are interested in knowing more, email Jeff Prescott.
Fallen Leaves 5Ks
The last one is this Saturday, November 17 at 9am. Looks like another wintry Fallen Leaves this weekend and maybe some snow on the grass. Contact Tim if you can volunteer.
Fallen Leaves #2 results are here. 35 finishers and 8 volunteers endured a chilly, wintry morning. Congratulations to Richarda Ericson for the overall female win!
2018 CVR/ORO Race Series
The 2018 series is done except for a few folks who still need to volunteer. Even if you aren’t the first in your division, volunteering is important because if you don’t, you will disappear from the results! No one wants to disappear, so volunteer if you can for the last Fallen Leaves races so you will stay in the 2018 race series. You can check your volunteer status here (doesn’t include Fallen Leaves). If you do decide to volunteer, please contact Tim Noonan before the race so he can assign you a job.
Save the Date – Annual Volunteer and Awards Dinner
This is set for Thursday, January 24th, so reserve it on your calendar. More details to follow. Remember that you must have volunteered for one CVR race in order to attend for free. If you haven’t volunteered yet, there are still one Fallen Leaves race and the New Years Eve race.
