With 2025 minutes from being over, this is a quick note to say thank you for being a member of our club or for supporting it through participating in our events past or present. 

Over the last three months, I’ve been personally pulled in more directions than I thought possible, which meant picking and choosing which tasks to get done. The result was not doing a letter via email for the last couple of months and barely getting this one done. 

Things to know:
Hall of Fame is being determined and will be finalized at the next board meeting (January).

The annual banquet is scheduled for March 7 at I-Square and details are being finalized. It’ll be a brunch this year, so expect something like noon to 3:30. 

We’re reaching out to potential board members and will have online voting in the near future. Current members whose terms are expiring or are leaving early will serve their last days through 1/31/2026. 

Rochester Runner of the Year Series races will be announced in the new year as soon as possible. 

The Freezeroo Series is underway and there’s still time to register for individual races or the series, even though you may have missed the first one or two. (https://runsignup.com/Race/NY/Rochester/FreezerooSeriesIndividualRace)

GRRC MILEStone data will close out 1/15/2026. Be sure to get your race miles in! (Virtuals don’t count for this.) If you have issues, reply here and I’ll get it to the right person. https://runsignup.com/Race/NY/Rochester/GreaterRochesterRunningClubMILEStonePatchChallenge

Happy New Year!

Vickey A. Beaver, 

GRRC President
