On August 24th, 11 CRCers tackled the 5th installment of the 2019 USATFNE Grand Prix at the New Hampshire 10 miler in Auburn, NH. No different than the previous Bridge of Flowers Grand Prix race, the New Hampshire 10-miler was another challenging course with a steady dose of hills. Kyle led the way with a
On August 10th, 14 CRCers made the trek up to Shelburne Falls for “one of the toughest 8Ks in New England.” And boy, the race directors weren’t kidding – one look at the course profile (or everyone’s mile 3 split on Strava – see photo below) will make you understand why this race was so tough! Despite the tough
Once again, CRC trekked across the road from McCurdy Track to test themselves at the annual RaceMenu Summer Series 5k held at Herter Park. 35 CRC’ers came to represent on a warm and windy evening and dominated the field across the board. Our women took 3 of the top 5 spots in the women’s 5k
It was a warm sunny Saturday as CRC took to the track in Medford for the 2019 edition of 26×1 Club Challenge Cup Relay. Battling it out against 22 other local club teams from the greater Boston area, CRC put in a great effort coming in 4th overall, up a place from last year! We
The CRC crew took the 59th Mt. Washington Road Race in Gorham, New Hampshire by storm last Saturday. The race, which has an average grade of 12.5%, a max vertical grade of 22%, and an elevation gain of 4,650 feet has the distinction of such tag lines as, “Because it’s there, and you’re a runner”
Both a new race to CRC and the USATF Race Series, the Run Westfield Flat Fast 5K proved popular and… fast! The race didn’t kick off till 1 PM meaning no waking up at the crack of dawn and the course was a point-to-point, downhill course. The weather cooperated (if maybe a bit too dry)
CRC was well represented among the crowd of locals at Frank Nealon last week. Our women’s and men’s teams rallied through the hilly course to a strong finish of 7th and 8th place respectively. We were proud to represent our club in this highly competitive field of runners. Check out full results (team and individual)
Tradition continued as CRC took to the streets of New Bedford on St. Patrick’s Day to race one of New England’s most competitive running events. Dozens of CRCers battled hills and really windy conditions (as opposed to the usual really, really windy conditions, or 2017’s really, really, REALLY windy conditions) to earn PRs, first-time half
Once again CRC brought a large team and a lot of energy to Super Sunday. Between the 5 miler and the 5K, CRC fielded 64 runners (58 and 6 respectively) earning the club the distinction of largest team. Beating out November Project for the honor, CRC was awarded a party bus for the duration of
On one of the coldest days this month, 50 CRC runners took to the golf courses of Melrose to once again claim a bounty of nutcrackers. After the race, many CRCer’s agreed that the ever-changing course was possibly the hilliest it has ever been. Despite the terrain, we managed to snag a total of 14
