Chiller #4, 2023 location change!
Due to recent heavy snow storms, the course and parking at and near Granite Lake is not good. We are moving the 2023 Chiller #4 to Dublin, NH. Click here for detail.
Chiller Cancelled but there is more in March,2023
It is early March 2023 and we are getting blasted with a lot of snow. Tomorrows Chiller #3 is cancelled—we don’t want people driving through 12 inches of snow. https://www.monadnockmilers.com/race-calendar/2023/3/4/winter-chiller3
There are still many opportunities to run in March: The last Ice Box run in Rindge, the infamous Dead Possum half marathon in New Ipswich/Greenville and last Chiller #4 at Granite Lake.
January brings the first Chiller in Hancock, 2023
The winter of 2023 has seen a lot of rain and cold temperatures making freezing rain and very slick running conditions. Icy patches on the ground are hard to see—don’t hesitate to wear traction aids. If you run in the dark, wear bright reflective clothes. Also consider sunscreen on exposed skin even in winter.
The first of 2023 chillers start Saturday January 21st in Hancock at 9:00 AM (see here). Don’t forget to bring donations for the food-bank. Also, you can renew your MRM club membership at our chillers.
