Looking for Venues!

Written By Mike Smith

We’re looking to set our Winter Chiller locations with dates.  As far as venues go, we’re looking to vary the locations (from each other and previous ones) and match them to the following dates.  If you have a good location for a venue; good place to host a course, enough room for everyone to get out of the weather if needed, no or low cost, let us know and give us the  contact information for who we should talk to.  We’re anticipating if someone suggests a site, they will either give us a good person to be the location liaison or be willing to be the liaison themselves.  So no need to suggest a place you’d like to run without any info with regard to a host.  Here are the dates for 2025! January 18, February 1 and 15, and March 1 and 15.

Mike Smith

Co president Mike Smith has been involved with running since he took up cross country in middle school.  While never one of the top runners across the state, he did come away with a 16:35 xc PR before he stepped away from competing in his youth.  Shortly into adulthood Smith came back to the sport for good, both as a means for fitness and simply to keep active and resolve some unfinished business.  Looking to see if there was something left for him in high school sports, he became the head coach for his alma mater, Mascenic, and coached there for twenty five years before hanging up the head coaching position this past year.  His teams racked up ten Division 3 team titles (8 boys, 2 girls) and qualified and competed at the New England championships twice.  Not bad for a school of 270 kids.  When not coaching, Smith is often found running, talking about running, or wandering around the woods and trails of New England.
