Winter Chiller Wrap Up 2024

Winter Chiller Series Wrap Up

The beginning of March saw the final race of our Winter Chiller's Series at BeFit in New Ipswich with another excellent turn out! We averaged close to 50 participants for all of our races, with runners coming from every town of the Monadnock Region, multiple states, and representing all age groups! COMMUNITY! 

A big "Thank You" to all of the towns, locations, and volunteers - we could not have carried out these events as smoothly as we did without everyone pitching in! Another "thank you" to all of the participants for your donations to the Local Food Pantries - what a great gift to give! 

Anyone who earned a Winter Chiller shirt will be able to pick it up at our April 23rd Quarterly Education Night. If you are unable to make it, let us know and we will set up another time! 

Welcome to Our Newest Club Sponsors

As the club moves forwards and continues its growth, we are working to connect our community based club with our local small businesses! We want to extend a "Thank You" and a warm welcome to our newest Club Sponsors and are looking forward to future collaborations!
