NRC At the Rutherford Relay

This weekend brings with it yet another race weekend for many NRC runners.  We have several teams participating in the Relay Rutherford, which is a 53 mile relay stretching through the roads of Rutherford County.  Many participated last year and had a fantastic time!  This year should be just as fun but may be a bit soggy with the weather predictions.  I can’t wait to hear everyone’s stories afterward!

As far as running plans closer to home, there are a few that are shaping up but yet to be solid.  Once I know for sure, I will post here.  Stay tuned!

Run Happy All!

One note to mention:  Our celebration evening at Arrington Vineyards that had been rescheduled for Saturday night has now been cancelled due to the weather.
