November is not only when we close out our racing season and start planning the next one, it is also a time of thanks AND our anniversary. ?It is a time for us to reflect on what went right this year, how we can improve next year but also – to be grateful for what […]
In order to execute a race with a small full-time staff, we have to rely heavily on our strong corp of volunteers. We know these groups and individuals are the “face” of the company that you will encounter throughout your race day, and they can make or break the race experience. Luckily, we have some […]
I have been coaching a Girls’ HS team in hopes of inspiring the team – it has given me a reason to pause and look into why I run, and why we run. What is our motivation and reason for pushing ourselves in every race that we do – to get out of our comfort […]
This summer I have reinvigorated my running a bit: Going left when I normally go right, listening to new “curated” playlists rather than my tried, true and tired playlist – but mostly taking to the trails instead of the roads. It has been just what?I needed to reignite the love, awe and enjoyment of running. […]

After a long off-season of planning, we have just wrapped up our 1st race of the year and have a short turnaround time before the mack-daddy of Rhode Island races – The Providence Rhode Races. The Newport race was so important to Karen and I – to start off the year on the right foot, […]
As I have said before – “running” a road race requires the same amount of pre-race prep, as does running the race. We spend our off-season doing the unglamorous work of planning our race strategies, making tweaks to what went wrong last year, and learning to improve and grow for this year. Sound a lot […]
As a runner in New England, the Boston Marathon is the Super Bowl of races. ?It is iconic, it is historic and it is the pinnacle race for a runner. Many people work their whole lives chasing their BQs. It is a bucket list item for them, the ultimate goal. ?So when terrorists destroyed that […]
I used to travel for work quite a bit and my favorite way to explore new locations was to run. I felt you never really got to know a city unless you ran through the streets, especially before anyone else was awake. You smelled the various scents, got a little lost on some side streets, […]
