Tuesday night workouts ring in 2018 with great changes

January 7, 2018

Tuesday night workouts are experiencing some great changes with the 2018 New Year:

On January 2nd, a 40-person crowd turned out in the blistering cold and wind last Tuesday night at Catlin Gabel track, followed by beer and pizza on ORRC afterwards!

And, starting next Tuesday (1/9/18), this group will be joined by Laura Coyle, ORRC member and personal trainer, for five minutes of stretches and warm-up before hitting the track.

We are excited to have Laura join our Tuesday night family! Just one more way ORRC members volunteer their time and talents to help others best enjoy their ORRC experience.

A message to our 2018 Y2K participants

January 6, 2018

Understandably, a few ORRC members were upset that there were no finisher medals for the Y2K 10K today. Although the 2018 Instructions for Participants (sent via email on Thursday and published to the Facebook event page on Dec 29) stated that only the half marathon runners would get finisher medals, the information on the ORRC website on the Y2K information page said that all finishers will get a medal. This was true in previous years, but not in 2018. In addition, we published an inconsistent date and time that online registration was closed for Y2K. ORRC Race Director Mark Barrett regrets these errors.

Dual Duel – new date – Thursday August 10th

July 31, 2017

Due to severe heat expected on August 2nd, ORRC has chosen to postpone our 45th Annual Dual Duel and ORRC Mile events to Thursday August 10th. All other details of the event remain the same. Online registration is open through midnight August 8th – click here.


IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING DUAL DUEL:
In light of record high temperatures forecasted and in the interest of public safety, the ORRC Dual Duel will be postponed until Thursday, August 10th, 2017. ORRC has consulted with medical professionals, and despite any amount of cooling preparations we have arranged, it will simply be unsafe to hold this event in the excessive heat forecasted for race day.
The event will now take place at the same time and venue, on Thursday, August 10th, at Catlin Gabel School, With the ORRC Mile heats beginning at 6:00 pm and the Dual Duel +10k at 7:00. We will still finish under the lights around 9:30.
We will also have cool towels and misting stations available for all participants, in addition to lots of water and shade.
While we would love to see every participant on the new date, we know that will not be possible for everyone; therefore, ORRC would like to offer you one of the following three options:
> Participants may run as planned on the new date.
> Participants may choose to have their registration deferred to another ORRC race of their choice up to a 10k and before August 31, 2018.
> Participants may request a refund.
If you have already registered for the event, you will receive an email from the race director very soon with more details on the event’s new date. We will, therefore, keep online race registration open through Tuesday, August 8th.
We appreciate your patience and understanding. I look forward to seeing you at your next ORRC event.
– Daniel Brewer, Race Director
