Harvard Road Race Series

The pictures for the July 4th, 2010 have been uploaded and are available. If you would like a high-resolution image, email me. Enjoy!

With very favorable weather, the Men’s course record was almost broken and the race went off without a hitch. The Men’s race was won by Joseph Koech of Chelmsford, MA with a smokin’ fast time of 25:45 (5:09/mi) and the women’s side by Lindsay Willard of Somerville, MA with a time of 32:05 (6:25/mi). The race committee hopes that every racer enjoyed the race and the hats. The results have now been posted and we would appreciate any feedback especially getting running hats versus t-shirts.

The next race is the Apple Harvest Ramble 10k on 10/3/2010. The race is 2 weeks out from the Bay State Marathon and is a great tune-up for that race. We hope to see you there and have a great summer!

The committee is getting ready for the upcoming 4th of July 5-miler. This year, we are offering a high-tech running hat with Harvard July 4th logo instead of t-shirts. We feel that our runners will really like the hats and enjoy running in them. Check it out below.



The Harvard Road Race Committee has finalized the schedule for the 2010 racing season. After much thought and in an effort to expand participation, the committee has decided to modify the 10-miler in the Fall to be a 10k. We are also very excited to offer 2 trail races this fall. Check out the Events Schedule for more information.

As always, please contact the Race Director for more information.

The pictures for the Kids Trail Race have been posted.  There are some great shots in the album of all of the kids. Enjoy!

All of the Harvard Road Race Association races for 2009 are now in the books. The committee will be meeting over the winter to come up with the race schedule for 2010.

The 2nd Annual Kids Cross Country Race was held today at Fruitlands Museum in Harvard, MA under sunny skies with temperatures in the mid 50’s. It was a perfect day for a race and the kids did great. The results have been posted and pictures will be posted tomorrow.

We’d like to thank all of the kids that made it to the race and all of the volunteers who help put on the race. Finally, the race committee would like to show special gratitude to Fruitlands Museum to host the race and Carlson’s Orchards for donating apples.

The kids trail race is this Sunday, 11/1, and will be held rain or shine. We are looking forward to putting on a great event for the kids. If you have any questions, please email the race director (racedirector@harvardraces.org). Thanks!

The pictures from the 2009 edition of the Apple Harvest Ramble have been posted. Thanks to Dan Boone for taking all of those great shots. We believe that we have a photo of every runner!  Enjoy!

Another Apple Harvest Ramble is in the books & the results have been posted. Thanks to all those raced, sponsored, volunteered and came out to spectate. It turned out to be a perfect day for racing and Fruitlands Museum is a great venue for this event.
