Blue Ridge Relay – 9/5 & 9/6

All F3 Princeton Runners –
Please let me or @Patrick Chow (Black Hole) know if you’re interested in doing the BRR 2025 in September.
If we have enough interest from the running PAX, then we have to start planning for it . Booking the accommodations closer to the start of the race makes it easier for everyone. And that we need to do it now.
BRR stands for Blue ridge relay. It starts in Virginia and ends in Ashville NC. We have 4-5 PAX who have done it in the past. We need at least 9 to 12 runners to complete 210 miles.
I can schedule a Google Meet meeting to answer your questions.
Let us know ASAP.
Thanks :pray:

Ragnar Trail Run NJ – 10/3 & 10/4

Men, looking for an adventure in October? Training for the Princeton half and feel like you don’t want to spend all that training on just one event? Great! We want you to sign up for Ragnar New Jersey.

It’s a badass 24 hour relay starting Friday morning and running straight through the night until Saturday morning. Each man does 3 loops totaling 15.7mi. F3 Princeton has fielded teams a few years running now, and it’s incredible! This year it’s Oct 3 – Oct 4.

Don’t think about it, just do it! Let me know and I’ll put you on our list!
