Bound for the Sound 10K, and the last USATF road race of the season!

Some quick shoutouts:
Mira took over a minute off the club record she set in August! Tim joined us on the road, and led the Men’s Masters team to a win… and somehow still found time to arrange and pick up breakfast. Billy scored in all three categories again, Ari ran her first series race, Brittany got her first race of the year in, and Tom made his return from injury to help the Senior team!

Thank you to everyone that made it out to the race, what a perfect day to close out the season!

New Haven Road Race recap 👏

Big day for MRC yesterday.

Mira was the top CT finisher with a PR and a new MRC record! Jake set a new MRC Masters record, and Geoff and Bridget both ran big PRs!

We also had three Senior AG wins for Marilyn, Deb and Kevin!

Another big shoutout to the MRC crew out on the course cheering everyone on!

What a great day to be part of the club. 💚

Another great race day at the Sneekers 4 Miler!

Congrats to everyone who raced and represented the club!

Special shoutouts to Bridget for a great race, Billy and Brett for scoring in 3 categories, Laura for jumping in last minute to help the team, Tim, Lou, Alyssa, and Gillian for making the drive to cheer everyone on and Allen for the amazing photos (as always).

Another thank you to everyone who brought the kids (we love seeing the next generation of MRC!) and those that fit the race into their marathon training schedules. We appreciate you all!
