Post-Boston Banger Update!
Huge congratulations to all of the Bangers who ran the Boston Marathon on Monday: Bobby McDonough, Laura Huselton, Melody Mallozzi, Meghan Burns, Declan Healy, Seth Wolfman, Patrick McMahon, Em Grover, Mark Zurlo, Rachel Silverman, Mark Hagopian, and Kevin Koncilja. All of you did a fantastic job on Monday and it was so great seeing you at Bangers cheer stations! Collectively through the 2017 Boston Marathon, Bangers raised more than $68,900 for charity organizations, and that is amazing.
In other April racing news, we had a full weekend of 5Ks with Jess O'Neill running the Prison Break Dash in Lorton, VA; Kylee Drugan-Eppich at the Marina's Miles 5K in Durham, NH; Kyle Dooley at the Sprint 4 Super Saturdays 5k in Braintree; and Elyse Archila at the Dean Dash in Franklin, MA. Congrats Jess on the 5K PR!

We have a Grand Prix race coming up this Sunday at the Run for the Troops 5k! The bus leaves from Oak Square at 7 AM. There's space on the bus if anyone who's not running wants to come anyway!
The next upcoming Grand Prix race is the North Face Endurance Challenge the weekend of June 10-11 at Wachusett Mountain. This is ALL trail races, with distances ranging from 5K to 50 miles. It's a great way to try your first trail race or ultra!
Also in June is the annual 26x1 Club Challenge Relay! We're still awaiting info on a date...but keep it in mind, because you won't want to miss it. More info coming soon.
