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!!

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 💚💚😃😃
