We are looking forward to the Winter Chiller’s Race Series with 5 races in 5 locations across the Monadnock Region on the docket for 2025! Races will range from 3 - 5 miles in length and will commence with delicious food, warm drinks, thrilling raffles, and better company! Complete 4 out of 5 races and a Winter Chiller Shirt will be coming your way…show up or miss out on the shirt with the most positive feedback ever!!! 

In the spirit of community, we will be collecting non-perishables to donate to the Food Pantry, so please bring something if you can! As always, we will be looking for volunteers for help with set up, course marshals, cheerleaders, break down, food supplies, and more! If you are interested in assisting, sign ups for EACH RACE are in this google doc! I still can’t get over how smoothly events run because of our volunteers!

Dates Will Be: Jan 18 (Peterborough), Feb 1 (Jaffrey), Feb 15 (Temple), Mar 1 (Hancock), and Mar 15 (New Ipswich). Registration starts at 8, racing at 9 for all races! Further details to follow!

Becka Lyons

The other co president Becka Lyons has been running since the 5th grade, joining the high school cross country team in the 7th grade to be coached by Mike Smith when the middle school team didn’t have enough participation. Under Smith, Becka learned not only the ins and outs of running and won the 2006 Division 3 XC Championship Team title, but also all of the life skills that go with it; perseverance, goal setting, determination, and grit just to name a few. It would be those life skills that carried her from Mascenic Regional High School onto Quinnipiac University to earn her Doctorate of Physical Therapy and eventually open her own PT clinic with her husband, Elevation Physical Therapy & Sports Rehab in Peterborough, NH. Combining her passions for running and therapy, Becka held the Assistant Coach position for all things running at Mascenic for the last 4 years, bringing home both a boy’s and girl’s Division 3 team titles (only other Girl’s title since 2006!). When not at Elevation PT, Becka is usually found on the trails with her husband and black lab, gardening, or curled up with a book and a cup of tea.
