☀️Summer Schedule☀️
Hey runners! It’s that time of year again! The sun is shining and we officially shift to our summer schedule for group runs!
A few major things to note is our Wednesday evening fun run is still at 6:30pm but now starts from P&M on Orange Street. We are starting up our Friday Armada Brewing fun runs WEEKLY, because you just can’t get enough! We also now have an evening summit run for those of us who aren’t early birds! Hope to see some new faces at these runs!
As always feel free to DM us with any questions, and check the Heylo for any last minute changes/updates to these runs. Happy running!

We are so beyond proud of all our ~wicked~ fast teammates who ran the Boston Marathon🦄! This race is no easy feat especially with full sun the whole race 😮💨. While our race game was strong so was our cheer squad, so many people came out to support our team!


Spring has sprung & so have Wooster square’s famous cherry blossoms!!🤭☀️🌼 of course the team celebrated with a beautiful run around the square🌸🍒


Last weekend several members of our team took on an extremely competitive race ~Project 13.1~
This race isn’t called the fastest half in the country for nothing, and we had many superb races from the team!
PRs included: @tigercheesehippo 1:15:27, Lizzie Mundell-Perkins 1:14:28, @ziz_ch 1:17:40, and @gavinarnold1 1:19:23, PLUS this was Aziza’s debut half marathon race!
@maxoccupancy lead the charge with an extremely impressive 1:11:34 finish. @itsamarython had her fastest half in 9 years, 1:26:49! @runyourlife_ finished strong with a crazy pregnancy PR of 1:26:33.
@t.cannata managed to race with good spirits despite battling an injury and @josie.jayworth made the most of it still completing two very strong laps and then cheering on the team even with also recovering from an injury.
NHRR alum @kidan_zerufael had an amazing race PB finishing at 1:12:24!
But also, name a more photogenic team… we’ll wait 😍 Thanks to @meteredexposure for capturing so many wonderful photos for us!

It’s almost time to par-tay! Our annual kick off party is on Friday, January 31st so make sure to get your tickets to attend asap (link in our bio)! The event is catered and we have some prizes and superlatives you don’t wanna miss. Plus it’s one of the few times you’ll see your fellow comrades not in running clothes.

And on the final day of NHRRmas our true love gave to us… this continually growing club!!
These numbers show our official membership continues to rise, and we know our community extends to include our wonderful alumni, “friends of the club”, and everyone in the greater CT running community who make running and racing here so much fun. So thank you to everyone who has made this team such a special group to be a part of.
Here’s to another year of green heart emojis and so many smiling faces 💚💚😃😃

🎁🎊NHRRmas day TWO! Summit runs!🎊🎁
Nothing says friendship quite like running to the top of a hill for fun, and if you have any breath left at the top, the view will take it away. These runs are Thursdays at 6:30am starting at Nica’s, but it’s such a hit people plan summit runs or even double summits runs together all the time.
