RVRR Pub Flip-Flop Cooldown - June 11th


After a shortened Wednesday run on June 11th a bunch of us hardcore runners went for a pub crawl around the local pubs in New Brunswick. Starting out at Doll's the club made the rounds to Marita's, Court Tavern, Panico's (with food!), Harvest Moon, Corner Tavern, and Stuff Yer Face. I want to personally thank everyone for participating as the event was a lot of fun and at one point we had 20 pub goers with us. To see a handful of pictures taken go on over and visit the Fotki album. Check back here for the details on the winter pub crawl, to happen in December at some point.

Men's 60s Team 4th in the World!


September 8, 2007 - The USA 60's Mens 8k XC team at the World Masters Athletics Championships in Italy, consisting entirely of RVRR team members, placed 4th, behind Italy, Russia, and Australia. Amby Burfoot lead the team with a 29:00, and Terry Delph eight seconds behind in 29:08. Doug Brown came in at 31:20. In the file photo above, Doug is at the far left, Terry second from left, and Amby at the far right. Congratulazioni! Meraviglioso! Results posted on the WMA web site .


Doug Brown put together a challenge for masters runners in the Spring of 2008 attempting to meet the new USATF All American Standards of Excellence. These are standards established by USATF that put you in the top 5% of runners.

The races were held between March 29 and April 6. See the flyer for more information on what the challenge entailed.
