First off, congratulations to all those who participated in the Hyannis Marathon, Half Marathon and 10K yesterday. This morning we’re receiving the weather that was forecast for yesterday, rain, slush, snow and wind – so everyone was treated to pretty decent conditions for the races, especially for Cape Cod in the winter. [Race Results]
We just received word that the Mount Washington Road Race opened their lottery today. With only one hill, this should be an easy race – just ask John Martin. The lottery remains open until 15 March. We also just caught wind of a perfect run for all the baseball aficionados out there, the Run To Home Base on 23 May. A 9K around the Fens area of Boston, it finishes at home plate in Fenway. The event is a charity fun run which is raising funds to support the Home Base Program which provides services for returning veterans.
The USATF-NE Road Grand Prix kicked off yesterday at the Jones Realty Group 10 Miler in Amherst. The New Bedford Half Marathon is the next stop of the Grand Prix (21 March) and while only one or two club members made it to Amherst (Joe Navas: 22nd overall in 55:07), we expect a heavy turnout at New Bedford. Remember that in order to score for the club, you’ll have to have an active USATF membership. If you need a singlet, shirt, shorts, hat or more gear, contact our gear coordinator.

Going up to support somebody in the marathon and looking for something to do? Not running the marathon but still want to be part of the weekend action? Try the BAA 5K on Marathon Sunday. Replacing the Boston Freedom Run, the 5K is a competitive race that starts at Copley Square, loops up and around Boston Common and then returns to finish at the Marathon finish line. Registration will take place entirely on-line beginning at 9:00AM on the 3rd of March and the race is expected to reach its 5000 person cap quickly.
