Adamant Half Marathon and Relay
The inaugural Adamant Half Marathon and Relay this past Saturday had a good turnout and enthusiastic reviews from many of the runners. Neal Graves of Stowe won the race for the men in 1:24:21 and Maria Smith-Lopez from Laramie, Wyoming for the women in 1:37:15. Top CVR runners were George Aitken (1:36:14) and Megan Valentine (1:43:17). Megan, running with her dad, John Valentine, as relay partner, won the relay. Results are here. This was the fourth CVR/ORO Race Series race. Thanks to race directors Donna Smyers and Chris Andresen for putting on the event. And thanks to the volunteers!
Barre Town Spring Run
And this weekend is the fifth CVR/ORO Race Series race. The Barre Town Spring Run 5K is at 9am Saturday at the Barre Town Rec Facility adjacent to the Barre Town school. The course is mostly on the Barre Town Rec path and is the year end closing event for the Barre Town School Kids Running Program. But it also is a competitive race in the Race Series and this is the 11th year. If you want to run, it is a bargain at $10 (adults); 8th grade and under are free.
Vermont City Marathon Expo Table
This year CVR will have table at the marathon expo, which is on Friday, May 24 and Saturday, May 25. Leaf Peepers race director Will Robenswill staff the table most of the time to promote Leaf Peepers and other CVR events. If you go to the expo, make sure you drop by. And even better, hang out a while and talk up CVR to the runners stopping by.
Will is looking for a volunteer or two to help him on Friday night of the expo at 5pm. He has another commitment on Friday night so if you would like to cover the table for an hour or two, email Will. The expo closes at 8pm and it would be good if we could cover the 5pm to 8pm slot.
