Another year. A year of running, walking, fun and hopefully health. As we head into 2018, I’ve looked back on 2017 and pulled some of the highs and lows of our running year, going for the top 12, one for each month.
12. Last January, Steve Dowling and Terry Ballou attended and took top honors in the high jump and mile, respectively, at the Dartmouth Relays. See an invitation below and attend the Relays this year!
