Summer Nights Series!
Cross Country is a summer sport played out in the fall. Ever heard this mantra before??? Of course you have! Well, once again, thanks to Marathon Sports, we have an incredible way to enhance the enjoyment of those summer miles. We, NHXCTF and Marathon Sports, have organized 3 groups runs around the state, 1 at each Marathon Sports location (Concord, Manchester, Portsmouth). We have dubbed these “Summer Nights Group Runs” and while they are focused on the aspiring high school runner preparing for cross country, anyone can attend! Kids, bring family, friends, those cousins visiting from out of town! Come run and then take advantage of the Summer Night experience (akin to Team Night) at the Marathon Sports store including storewide discounts, giveaways, and potential demos. Details are still being developed but the dates and information are below.
As a culminating event, Speed Sport Timing with Marathon Sports and NHXCTF, are offering Summer Nights 5ks. These will be held the final weekend before the season starts on Friday night August 15th at Portsmouth High School (rain date Saturday night August 16th – Instagram for updates). Yep, twilight races!!! A great fitness check of how all those summer miles have paid off! Confidence builder into the season! Entry fees will be low, awards to the top three of each race, merch and other potential giveaways will be part of this event. Current details are below as well.
**This post will be updated with the reg link soon as it is available. As always subscribe to our NHXCTF instagram for reminders and announcements of further developments as we approach each date. The first group run will be at the Concord location Friday, July 11th!
