Hi CVR Members,
We are moving right along through February and we finally have an entire week with temperatures above zero! With that, a reminder that we have our first race event this year, the snowshoe race. Details are below but race director Jackie Jancaitis wanted me to broadcast that she still needs volunteers for the event. Please reach out to Jackie if you can help out – Jackie. It will be beautiful weather and I’m sure an exciting race to watch.
Winter Group Runs
Last week’s winter group run was in Plainfield. Our numbers are growing by one each week. Temperatures were much warmer than previous weeks and we had nice sun the entire way. There were 3.3 – 4 miles of running straight uphill before completing the course downhill with various distances of 6.7, 7.5 and 9.3 miles.
Some members may be attending the snowshoe event this Saturday, but the group run will be scheduled for Berlin Pond this week. Again, if you want to be added to the email distribution list with details please respond to this email.
CVR Annual Dinner – Thursday, March 24
I want to inform those who had previously sent John Martin a note that you would be attending the dinner for the January date, you will need to RSPV him again. We need to make sure how many can attend. Please respond to John by March 21st. You can send an email by clicking here John Martin.
CVR Newsletter
Our next newsletter will be coming up the first week of March. Please submit your articles to Alice McCormick by March 1st.

The annual meeting will be scheduled for Sunday, March 27th at 4:00 PM. A separate announcement with agenda will go out later. There will be a virtual option to join the meeting. I am looking for a venue for those that may want to attend the meeting live.

Coming up Events
Millstone Madness Snowshoe Race – This Saturday!!
Saturday, February 12th, 2022, 10am
The Millstone Madness Snowshoe Race is approximately 3 miles with approximately 400 ft of climbing over mostly single track trails. This may not seem like much but expect the unexpected. This is not your average trail or road race. The snowshoes, ice, and lots and lots (we hope) of snow will make your lungs and legs burn. The seemingly endless climbs will make you wonder if you were mad to sign up. The enchanted beauty of the woods will make you delirious. After, while enjoying the campfire, you might be ready to sign up for next year.
ORO is offering 50% discount on rentals to participants.
44 Brook Street, Websterville, VT 05678

Donna Smyers informed me the Adamant Half Marathon is open for registration!
