• Race Report: Retro Run 4M and New York Mini 10k

    It was a groovy Retro Run on Sunday, June 12 despite the severe weather warning! Here’s the skinny: sweatband and tube sock wearing runners ran counter-clockwise around the inner loop of Central Park. Miles splits were called out live and CHRC scored some PRs at this club points race!

    The 45th annual Mini 10k, originally named after the miniskirt, was held on Sunday, June 11 with over 8800 women! Congrats to Yael Elmatad, Jess Setless, and Celia Dillon who repped CHRC Women at the race. The race started along the exterior of Central Park, near Columbus Circle, then clockwise around the full loop.

    Congrats also goes to:

    • Peter Meegan for finishing #1 in AG and #9 overall at Provincetown 10k!
    • Gideon Bautista for finishing #5 in AG at the Walkway Marathon!

  • Race Report: Run as One 4M & Japan Run 4M

    Spring has sprung and it was beautiful on Sunday, April 24th in Central Park! Over 8000 runners participated in Run as One to raise awareness of lung cancer: the leading cancer kill in both men and women in the U.S. and the most common cancer worldwide.¹

    Unfortunately, BABYMETAL was not part of Japan Day.

    But it was rainy Sunday, May 8 during the four mile Japan Run. The race was the opening event for the 10th annual Japan Day @ Central Park festival which celebrates the Japanese community in New York and the cultural connections between Japan and the United States.

     

    Congrats to Nigel McGregor, Monica Merlis, Reed Edwards, Sunny Kasabwala, Nick Collins, John Bedard, Wei Wang, Katie Petereson, and Anya Javadi for repping #CHRCWomen and #CHRCMen during these races! Here are the Top 5 in 2016:
