    Circle North should put in a team from Maine.

     

    The Mill Cities Relay will be run on Sunday December 4, 2016. 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.millcitiesrelay.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.millcitiesrelay.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 Coordinator Chris Grange is in charge of organizing the WCRC teams. If you would like to participate on a WCRC team at Mill Cities, send the following information to Chris at

    wcrcteams@runthecircle.org. DON'T BE SHY, VOLUNTEER TO RUN FOR THE CLUB. IF YOU SUBMIT YOUR NAME YOU WILL BE PUT ON A TEAM - NO ONE GETS LEFT OUT.

      I've always thought it would be cool to do it that way. Probably easier logistically, too.

        I'm totally up for this. How do we make it happen?

          Just get a group of 5 of us oldish CN old guys. I could be potentially bribed into a CN team.  There are enough of us over 40 guys.  It makes for a long day though.  You would still need two more.  Perhaps Mad Mike or Greg2, maybe coax the L-train out of retirement.

          What was I chasing again?

            I would have said Tall Dave, but if he goes he should be on one of the A / WCRC teams.

            What was I chasing again?

              Ha it just now finally dawned on me that I'll be on a plane heading far, far away from here on vacation that day. Ah well, have fun.

                  Did you think I left you off because you are fat & slow?

                  What was I chasing again?

                    Ya that was my initial inclination.  But then again somehow you made it on my guest list even though you are old and moody.

                      Still interested in this - anyone else want to commit? I would volunteer to contact Chris Grange with our request - would just need 5 of us to commit, but also be willing to abide by their desire to separate us for the good of the team - anyone?

                        Old & Cranky... not moody.

                        I'll go in with ya Fro...  no heavy drinking at Egad's wedding though.

                        Typical pace per mile (or time) in a 10k race:  6:45/mile (if no snow/ice this year)

                        Time-of-day/leg restrictions or desires: Would prefer to do the 9.5 mile leg.

                        What was I chasing again?

                          Is this dead? Trying to sort out my obligations through the holidays.

                            I didn't really hear any takers - Rob, would love to hang with ya that day - but it doesn't look like a CN team - you would need to contact WC directly to get your name in the pool. At this point, I think it's just Me and Greg2... Anyone else going?

                              So are you to in regardless?

                                Yup - Already signed up. Unless my plantar/Achilles doesn't allow me - but I'm in!
