Next CVR Race
Berlin Pond 5 Miler is the next CVR/ORO Race Series race, on Thursday, August 15 at 6pm. We still need a water stop volunteer so email Jeff Prescott if you can help. Also, if you think you volunteered already for the race but didn’t get a volunteer email from him yesterday, then email JeffASAP.
Remember Berlin Pond is a $10 race! Start is at the pond and registration at the Town Office on Shed Rd.
No Wednesday Speedwork
Matt Rutherford has cancelled speedwork for Wednesday (today) due to Thursday’s Berlin Pond race. That means Thursday’s workout will be easy: 1×5 miles.
Julio’s after the Fun Run
After the August 20th Fun Run we will plan to go to Julio’s. That is this coming Tuesday. If you plan on coming to Julio’s but can’t make the run, let me know so we can reserve a spot for you.
