This is a fast and flat out and back USATF certified course. It starts and ends at the Rochester Community Center. We have indoor bib pick up, race day registration, post-race snacks, and bathrooms, so you can run this race in any weather conditions!
Our race benefits the Homeless Center for Strafford County & Jerry’s Food Pantry. This year we are partnering on race day with End 68 Hours of Hunger and SOS Recovery which will both receive additional race proceeds.

Update on Ice Cream Run scheduled for this Thursday, July 12th. I have a commitment (so does Regina) that I did not think was on this day (my bad). The options are: 1) to have someone who was planning on attending step up and help with the run and Ice Cream purchase (RR would provide funds) or 2) reschedule to the following Thursday, July 19th. If anyone is able to help on Thursday please comment of the Facebook post or contact me. Thom

RR wants to congratulate Kevin Scott and Cliff Parkinson for completing the Dopey Challenge at Disney World in January. The Dopey challenge consists of running a 5k, 10k, 1/2 Marathon and full Marathon, over four consecutive days. Well done! Who’s idea was to do the Dopey Challenge??? We’ll have more about the Challenge and some photos in the next newsletter.

I am so pleased to let RR members know that our first donation of $1,500 has been received by the Homeless Center of Strafford County. This week I will be dropping off a $1,500 check to Jerry’s Food Pantry. This year we are also donating $100 to End 68 Hours of Hunger. This is a volunteer effort to provide backpacks of food to students in Rochester schools to ensure they have food over the weekend when they do not have access to school meals. Thanks so much to all the volunteers who made this race a success. The Free Fall Classic has truly become a community event. This is how a RR membership supports a club activity. We cannot do it without all your help.

During our December Christmas Party/meeting, election of Officers took place for 2018. After serving the club for the past two years, Ken Houle, Vice President, and Bethany Robinson, Secretary, decided not to continue for the this year. I cannot say enough good things about the work both of them did for RR. Currently the Officers are; Thom Flynn, President, Mike Andrews, Treasurer, and Bill Leonard, Web-Master. Bill has been gracious in offering to help keeping track of memberships. We continue to welcome any club member who may be interested in filling either Ken or Bethany’s position.
