GLRR Hall of Fame Nominations

Announcement
Each year, the GLRR Hall Of Fame Committee meets in February (well early March this year) to consider worthy candidates for induction into the Greater Lowell Road Runners Hall Of Fame (HOF).  The Hall of Fame dinner is tentatively scheduled for April.  The process is two-part, first the nominations and second the discussion and voting.    The nomination process is open to all members of the Club, as well as the HOF committee.  When the committee meets, they go through each name of nominees and discuss each candidate. You can make your nominations here: https://www.glrr.net/glrr-hall-of-fame-nominations/   Please make your nominations by Wednesday February 28th.   The one area in which we differ from other halls of fame, is that we don't really have "stats" like most other sports do.
