“Club Race”…This year we have picked one race we are calling the ”club race”…which basically means we are encouraging you to run the race and join us afterwards for some socializing at a local establishment.(TBD)! This year’s race will be the Thunder Chicken 5k, which will be held on Thursday, August 2nd…http://www.portsmouthrotary.org/
One of our members, George Pierce, who passed away a few years ago was the founder of the Thunder Chicken and Race Director for many years….he would be proud that we are making this a “club” event.
