PCVRC was the TOP team in the USATF Mid-Atlantic Grand Prix Road Series!
– From Claire:
Did you know that the PCVRC won the USATF Mid-Atlantic Grand Prix road series?! This is a HUGE achievement and resulted in the club winning $1000. All who participated and scored for the club should be giving themselves a huge pat on the back. We beat 13 other clubs to take the title! PCVRC was also 3rd in the Off-Road Series – so we have had a GREAT year!
The Annual Banquet is coming up! Save the date for February 21st @ Hartefeld Country Club. Details below.
Save February 15th for the annual Club Challenge race at Lums Pond State Park. Details coming soon.

Central YMCA Indoor Triathlon/Duathlon
Joel Schiller is the race director for a very unique race. There are three stages: a 20-lap pool swim, a 15-mile SPIN bike ride and a 3-mile treadmill run. Start time slots run between 10:00 AM and 1:30 PM. You get to choose your start and the order you do the stages in. Transition times do not count so you’re not penalized if your transitions are slower than most. If you do the duathlon you can choose from any of the three stage types!
Registration is only $20 (until January 31st, $25 afterward and day-of) and you get a tech t-shirt and a finisher’s medal! Here’s the link to sign up online. (Online registration closes on Feb. 26th. Day-of registration will be available, starting at 8 AM.)
