U-32 RELAY TEAM AT NATIONALS
The U32 4×800 team came in 18th at the New Balance Nationals, with a time of 8:05.93. Thanks to all who supported them in their trip last weekend to Greensboro, NC.
MT. WASHINGTON ROAD RACE
Four CVR members ran the infamous Mt. Washington Road Race this past weekend: Darrel Lasell, Rebecca Harvey, Donna Smyers and Mike Gillis). Our group was too small to qualify for the team competition so some of them ran for other teams. This was Rebecca’s and Darrel’s first trip up the One Hill but Donna and Mike are veterans, Donna with 20+ races and Mike with 30+. Donna once again won her age group, this year in a new one and was third overall on age graded basis. Results at http://www.coolrunning.com/results/18/nh/Jun16_Northe_set1.shtml.
Happy Birthday to: Rima Carlson, John Mattern, Craig Colvin, Todd Crowe

CAPITAL CITY STAMPEDE
The 41st Annual Capital City Stampede is Saturday at 9am. This is another CVR/ORO Race Series event. We bill it as Vermont’s fastest 10K. So come out for a PR and get another Race Series race in the books. Registration is in the City Center lobby.
Shannon Salembier reports she is in desperate need of volunteers. Especially needed are the coveted course monitor and timing jobs. And the rumor is volunteers will get last year’s race t-shirt as a bonus! Contact Shannon Salembier if you can help (shirt sizes not guaranteed!)
CVR/ORO Race Series
Speaking of which the Race Series standings are on the website now through the last race (Barre Town). Four races down, eleven more to go. Remember the best six count.
KIDS TRACK MEET
Dot Helling and Sandy Colvin reported a successful 22nd Annual Kids Track Meet. Despite some tricky weather at first, everything went smoothly and while turnout was down, over 140 kids had a lot of fun. Here is a link to the Times-Argus for lots of photos: https://timesargus.smugmug.com/Feature-Photos/Kids-Track-Meet/.
CVR SUMMER OUTING-CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS
Sunday, July 15. We have reserved the picnic shelter at Boulder Beach in Groton. In the afternoon there will be activities such as swimming, hiking and possible preview of the upcoming Groton Forest Trail Race course. Plan for a cookout later in the afternoon, pot luck style.
If you (or someone you know) is an accomplished grill master, we would like your services at the summer outing. We need two grill masters. There are grills at the picnic shelter but if you are willing to bring your own that would be better. CVR has some budget to provide a limited amount of meat to cook. Most of the cooking will be for (or by) folks bringing meat or veggies. The grill master will be in charge of cooking and/or coordinating the grill space.
Also, we are looking for help/suggestions in coordinating activities at the outing, particularly with kids. If you have ideas or feel called to help, please let me know.
MONTPELIER MILE IS BACK!
The one mile classic is back again, sponsored by Onion River Outdoors. Early registration is available at $15 adult and $5 under 12. 6pm on July 3rd before the parade.
POST FUN RUN AT JULIO’S
Let’s plan on another post-Fun Run evening at Julio’s after the June 19th Fun Run (in two weeks) . No need to RSVP. We’ll count the number interested before the run and call in a reservation.

VERMONT CITY MARATHON
Good luck to all marathon runners and relay participants this weekend. Hope for pleasant running weather. A little rain wouldn’t be so bad…
