Running and COVID-19

COVID-19 is affecting the entire world. Keep in mind that running and exercise can keep you healthy and may better protect you against the virus. According to CDC this is especially important for older people (here).

Feeling stress and anxiety? Running can help. The CDC states exercise (like running) helps us better deal with stress and anxiety (here).

But be sure to follow safe practices when running. Runners World posted an article about safe, social distancing when running (here).

Keep safe, run safe.

Only two chillers left for 2020

There are only 2 chillers left for the 2020 season. Temple and New Ipswich again end the 2020 chiller series. Again you runners have done great job of making these races a great success. This weekend’s chiller in Temple will be at the tail end of some winter precipitation. Please continue to be prepared for icy conditions, bringing traction and appropriate gear.

As always, you chiller runners are doing a great job bringing non-perishable donations for the local food banks. The food banks appreciate it!

Valhalla run/races

We are adding some runs sponsored by the Valhalla running club of New Ipswich into our race calendar and are including them in the eNews. These are more casual runs but offer you the opportunity to run with other club members between the chiller races.
