Cross Country is here! And reminder for Grand Prix

Grand Prix
The 2024 Cross Country schedule has been released!  If you have never run cross country (XC) you should give it a try.  It's hard but a ton of fun.  Take a look at the schedule I listed below.   If you are interested in running any of the USATF-NE XC Grand Prix races with GLRR, please fill out this form to show your interest.  It's not a commitment to run, just to help us keep track of teams for XC races.  Again, you are responsible to register yourself for the first 4 XC races and remember to put GLRR for your team when registering.  We will register you for the NE XC Championships (information for this will be sent at a later date).   Here’s the full USATF-NE XC Grand Prix schedule: Old…

Sign up for Mill Cities Relay

Mill Cities Relay
It’s time to start planning for the Mill Cities Relay!!    The 2023 Mill Cities Relay will be held on Sunday, December 3rd beginning at 8am.  We came in 2nd place in 2021 and 2022. However, in 2019 we placed first, so let’s get back to our place as MCR champions and field GLRR’s best and largest number of teams yet!   What is the Mill Cities Relay?  Many regional running clubs belong to the Mill Cities Alliance which form teams in multiple age/gender groups for a relay race from Nashua NH to Lawrence MA, covering more than a marathon’s distance in the process.  While this is a race, and we always like putting together some competitive teams for our speedy runners, this is also one of GLRR's biggest social event of the year.  Here, you can…

Summer can go by too fast, so be sure to put Monday, August 28 at 7pm on your calendars.   Join us at our August Club Meeting as we hear from founding and early members of the Greater Lowell Road Runners. Our panelists, John Barbour, Jean (Boswell) Barry, Dave Camire, Scott Graham, John Morrison, Gerard Ottaviano, and Jim Stronach will tell us about the early days of GLRR, what running and races were like then, and I'm sure there will be some witty banter with other long time members in our audience.
