ACRR News:

The Atomic City Road Runners Club (ACRR) will begin its 52nd season at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, April 7, at the Canyon Rim Trailhead across from the Los Alamos Cooperative Market on East Road (N.M. 502).

This run includes 1, 2, and 3-mile paved courses. Learn more at https://www.ac-rr.com.

The Atomic City Road Runners Club is a family-oriented running and walking club that meets every Tuesday April through October, for a pace race in which members predict their own time. Anyone can choose to run or walk for 1 mile, 2 miles or 3 miles, and the slowest walker can be a winner if his or her finish time is closest to that predicted.

The first and last meetings are held at the Canyon Rim Trail so that runners/walkers can determine present fitness at the start of the season and check again at the end of the season to measure improvement.

During the season, pace races are held on various streets and trails throughout Los Alamos County. Registration immediately precedes each run with a 50-cent fee for members and students (high school age and below) and a $1.50 fee for non-members. Members get a special club T-shirt at the end of each season.

The season culminates in November with the Annual CROP Walk/Turkey Trot sponsored in conjunction with CROP and LA Cares, two charitable organizations. Turkeys and pumpkin pies are awarded by random drawing at this event.

Get fit, explore Los Alamos County, and have some family fun by joining the Atomic City Road Runners Club. To become a member, print a membership application from the Club website or pick one up at the next run. Dues are $20 for an individual and $30 for a family membership. Membership: form (pdf file).

The Atomic City Road Runners Club is an all-volunteer non-profit 501(c)3 organization as an Affiliate of the Road Runners Club of America.
