Things are looking brighter! (and by brighter I mean frigid cold temps, chance of snow and RACING on the calendar) Check out all the great news about the next couple weeks of January NYSSRA racing….

1) January 10th – HURT Mega Relay at Garnet Hill is ON! The base has survived….a few inches of snow have freshened things a little and the 6 hour team relay event has some great prize packs (craft brews, VT maple treats, baked goods!).
