It’s official, and as Tom said, it’s been a while. It has been quite some time since we held a BRC Induction Night, so get out your dress whites. We’re throwing a bash. You’ll get to hang out (or reunite) with your fellow runners wearing something other than sweaty workout gear, and sometimes even makeup ...
How About That I thought for sure when I got to the missive finale that I’d have more to say. Perhaps some sort of retrospective or maybe one last opportunity to tell you there is no bad weather, only bad equipment. But the weather conspired against me on that one. I could just tell you ...
When to Say When It’s been a good run, and all good runs, even the long ones, come to an end. I can see the finish line from here. In the next couple of weeks I will hand over the reins of BRC Scribe to your next Saturday Run Coordinator. It’s a job I highly ...
Man, That Was a Long Day Now that the longest day of the year has come and (finally) gone, we’re into summer. You know what that means, don’t you? Well, first of all, we have a race in about 9 days. Perhaps you’ve heard about it. Perhaps you’ve even signed up to run or volunteer. ...
Some Ups and Downs If you’re running with us this weekend might be because you are not running up Mt Washington. For those of you who haven’t run it (yet), two words – bucket list. For those of you who have scaled the heights of the White Mountains, this weekend’s run will feel like a ...
Great Return Heading out on Dale this week for a medium sized 8.5-mile loop. Technically we hit two different Boxford borders on this one since we run into it one way and come out another. See if you can find both signs. Feel free to tag them if you need them for your collection. http://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/fullscreen/1618474255/ ...
Attention Running Fans We are not starting (or ending for that matter) from the Common this week. Here is where we are starting. If you are hyperlink-challenged, it is the Technology Center Parking Lot of Northern Essex Community College. We have never started here before therefore checking out the start location as well as the ...
Welcome to the Finale of the Grand Tour After this weekend, if you’ve stayed with us, you will have seen all we have to offer in borders. And we’ve saved the grandest (in terms of mileage) for last. This route takes us past some historic driveways and a couple of interesting buildings and at least ...
Penultimate Leg of the Ultimate Border Collection Who’s with me on this? Who thought penultimate meant something bigger and cooler the first time you heard it? I get that second-to-last has a very negative overtone and could uses some spicing up, but I think old Daniel Webster might have overcorrected a smidge. Now you know ...
Bienvenue à la Troisième étape de la Tour de BRC Tomorrow we head into the alpine regions of North Andover. It will be a day for the climbers to shine and for those in contention for the maillot vert to hang on for dear life. Runners will endure five rated climbs including an hors catégorie ...
