_ The 2021 Virtual AND LIVE Saunders at Rye Harbor 10K:
NEWS FLASH!! A New Hampshire summertime staple, The Saunders at Rye Harbor 10K will be run for the 45th time in 2021. Traditionally on the third Thursday evening in August, starting at 6pm, this year there will be TWO ways to compete. Like last year, because of continuing Covid-19 concerns, the Saunders 10 K will once again be run as a virtual race from August 12 to August 19. BUT HERE'S THE EXCITING NEWS!! Since the Covid Protocols are finally being relaxed, THERE WILL ALSO BE A LIVE RACE on Saturday August 21, starting at 5:30 pm.
Here's the scoop:
1) Register for which ever event you want to compete in.
For the Virtual: Run or walk 10k (6.2 miles) anywhere and at anytime from Thursday, August 12 to Thursday, August 19. When you finish—submit your time.
The LIVE EVENT. KEY POINTS—Saturday, August 21, starting at 5 pm. It will be run on a modified original course that runs around and through Rye, NH, with a new start and finish line. Field will be limited to 350 runners. All runners will receive a T-shirt. There will be NO post-race party (We're saving that for next year). Prizes will be mailed out after the race.
That's it.
Now, here's the really cool part. This year, ONCE AGAIN, everyone who enters either race will earn a special T-shirt. Those of you who have run the race in the past know that you always had to WIN a shirt, and that was always a real challenge, and you may or may not have been successful in the quest for one of these valued shirts.
As before we have partnered with the NHSPCA which will receive all net proceeds from the race. Additionally, you may designate an additional donation to this incredible organization when you register.
