Williamsburg Run for the Dream Half

This great race is usually held on the first weekend of June. This year they fixed the parking problem and the race started at the Williamsburg Visitor Center.

There is some elevation changes so be prepared for some hill climbing on the way back to the historic areas of Colonial Williamsburg. The race concludes at the…Continue

At mile two you enter the Denver Zoo and run past the various wildlife and birds for an entire mile. You then enter onto a street lined…Continue
Dismal Swamp Stomp Half Marathon

If you are free for this event next year, mark it down in your race schedule. Despite the name, there is no swamp running or slogging through anything gooey, slimy, or stinky.

There are ample water stops every few miles and there are mile markers every mile so you can easily keep track of how many more clicks to go. The fastest runner turned in a time a few seconds under 1:05. I saw him come BACK…Continue

The Dipsea

Running the Dipsea was a privilege - hopefully I'll get to do it again someday. And, next time I won't have to start in the very back (it is staggered with the fastest runners starting last).
Here's a video tour of the "course" - it is officially a point to point race - however you want to get to the beach (by foot); i.e., shortcuts are permitted.…

| NEW YEAR'S DAY BASH |

TCRR will host the annual New Year's Day Bash at 0900, January 1st, 2015. The venue is the same as last year. For directions, click here. (Please note that the Temple Avenue Gate on the Ordnance Campus will be closed for the holidays Dec. 22 - Jan. 4). Again we will have a "predict your time" 5K and 10K - anyone can win! The 5K and 10k courses will be mostly flat. Please bring a dish to share with others - TCRR will provide water, soda, and some adult beverages - including a champagne toast to the New Year! As always, families are welcome and encouraged to attend - a great way to get some fitness activities in before the ball games begin! Contact Joan Kramer or James Vardy for additional information if necessary. It is now much easier to access Fort Lee - all you need for entry is a valid driver's license - but be sure you have vehicle registration and insurance information available if necessary. |
