• Race Report: MORE/SHAPE Women’s Half-Marathon & Boston Marathon

    What great running weather we’re having!

    Danielle Wheeler, Susan Matthews, and Rachel Wyant, took advantage of the clear skies on Sunday, April 17 and repped #CHRCWomen at the 13th anniversary of the MORE/SHAPE Women’s Half-Marathon. With two full loops in Central Park, it was also plenty of hill repeats!

    In other hill news, on Monday, April 18, Kay Naito repped #CHRC at the most prestigious marathon in the world: Boston Marathon! Pushing past Heartbreak Hill, this marks Kay’s first Boston Marathon finish and makes her the first CHRC member to finish in the 120 years of the Boston Marathon!

  • Bronx 10 Mile

    Congratulations to all members who participated in this 5 borough series race in the Bronx! Among the nearly 10,000 runners out there, Team CHRCWomen placed 27th and put in another score for club points, and Nick Collins represented our men in this flat fast race. The Bronx 10mile  marked the start of the fall racing season for many and it indicated only that we are ready after all the work this summer. Afterward we got together and re-upped our energy at Amy Ruths with a delicious Southern brunch before heading back to Crown Heights. Thanks to everyone who was out there!
