The Mill Cities Relay will be run on Sunday December 6, 2015. This is the Running Club Championship of the Merrimac Valley: a relay team race open to invited "mill cities" clubs only (including the Winners Circle Running Club). The Mill Cities Relay is an "all hands on deck" event for the club.
All WCRC club members are encouraged to participate. There is NO LIMIT to the number of WCRC relay teams. There is NO COST for WCRC members who participate (the club pays all race fees). EVERYONE has a good time! Check out the past results (http://www.millcities.com), you'll see that WCRC has been an important "player" at Mill Cities for many years. The five relay legs are 5.4, 4.75, 2.5, 9.5, and 4.75 miles. You can check out the course maps at http://www.millcities.com. The course follows the river and all of the legs are relatively fast. There are some minor ups and downs, but there are no mountains between Nashua and Lawrence. There are men's, women's, and mixed teams in 18+, 30+, 40+, 50+, 60+, and 70+ age divisions. The relay starts at 8:00 AM. The racing is wrapped up by noon, but there is a great multi-club post-race runners party at the Claddagh Pub at the finish line in Lawrence that makes it worth staying into the afternoon if you can. WCRC Team Coordinators Chris Grange and Dan Maguire are in charge of organizing the WCRC teams.

This was so much fun last year - who's in? Would be cool to get a CN team or two...
It is a fun day if enough of us do it. I might be in. They probably wouldn't put us together on a CN team, though. You just have to take whatever assignment you get and roll with it. The logistics of it all are kind of a pain in the ass but it is fun.
A list of my PRs in a misguided attempt to impress people that do not care.
Out of course. I should just copy and paste that everywhere.
That is probably really close to whatever you are not training for.
I've done this several times and will again this year. It's great to run with some new faces and connect with familiar ones at the post-race party, and perhaps at the various exchange points. The party offers free hot food and beer at the bar (not free but worth every penny). Every CN member should do this at least once, if not annually. SO THAT MEANS, TALL DAVE, YOU NEED TO DO THIS. I just found out last night that you haven't yet. I would have bet you had.
Older, slower, and trying to keep up with Tall Dave.
