The Ashenfelter 8K on Thanksgiving Day is always a team favorite. The race winds through the neighborhoods of Glen Ridge, giving spectators plenty of opportunities to cheer on the runners.  More than 2900 runners participated in this year’s race. Rose City entered two...

I received some sad news this week.  Rich Noonan, who was a club member and raced with the team, passed away recently.  His daughter reached out to us through the website.  I have not seen an obituary yet, but will post it on Facebook and the team web page when I do....

Happy summer!  We did not field a team for the President’s Cup 5K in May.  We’re looking forward to the New Milford 5K and the Lager Run 5K in June.  One team championship race for the men and one for the women. Did I mention that the Lager Run has beer?

The team kicked off the racing season with two great races in Newark and Clinton.  We had a strong turnout that I hope will set the stage for the rest of the season. Check out the race reports in my previous posts.  Some good pics from Clinton are there too..
