Week of March 20-26
IT’S OFFICIALLY SPRING SEASON!
On Sunday, the United Airlines NYC Half ran through Central Park, Times Square and into Lower Manhattan, officially bringing the winter training season in New York to an end. Runners, cheerers and volunteers, anyone who supported training all winter: We made it!! Congratulations to all #RunningRoyalty and #CHRCNegativeSplits!
You can guarantee your entry to next year’s NYC Half by running four out of the six races in the NYRR Five-Borough Series and signing up for NYRR membership (by the last qualifying event in the series).
Registration is OPEN NOW for the NYRR Queens 10K, the New Balance Bronx 10 Mile, and the NYRR Staten Island Half! Celebrate what makes each borough a unique place to get out and run in.
**note – the Queens 10K is already close to selling out!**

GEAR SHOPPE OPENING SOON…
Where’s the CHRC gear????
We know you’ve been eager to get the Royal Spring look to run around Brooklyn in and the CHRC design team/ Gear Shoppe owners have been steadily making progress toward a great new line to ensure you look your best for that AirBnB Brooklyn Half (or any other race this summer).
SUNDAY APRIL 16 is the tentative date for shoppe opening. You will have 10 days to place your order and select your pick-up date. More details will be available very soon!
As in the wise words of the late Canadian Running Legend, Ed Whitlock:
“The more time you spend fiddlediddling with this and that, the less time there is to run”
Let’s run! #fun #CHRC #RunningRoyalty #CHRCWomen #CHRCMen #CHRCTrails #CHRCNegativeSplits #GoBananas
