Where: Lynn, MA
Distance: 15K
The Super Bowl will be played in the evening of Sunday, February 6, but if you show up at the Knights of Columbus Hall in lovely Lynn, MA earlier that day YOU will get a super bowl...of stew! The Great Stew Chase is the world's third-longest running 15K race, and it takes place virtually in our own backyard. This race has been a staple of the CRC Boston marathon training cycle in years past (in fact, the event website is the only one to ever link CRC, so impressed were they with our recap in 2006), and we are looking to make another strong showing there. The course is a moderately hilly out-and-back scamper through the industrial byways of Lynn, with a memorable incline at the turnaround. The race is named for the famous stew served up afterward, along with the usual post-race fare. The fees are as competitive as the race: $25 w/shirt, $12 w/o shirt. Your choice.

ReplyDeleteGreat! Putting it on the calendar. Know if its possible to register on the day? Nick
ReplyDeleteYes, race-day registration is available, and it costs no more. In fact, their "online registration" is nothing more than a PDF that you can print out and MAIL in, so why not save the stamp and register the day of?
ReplyDeleteI've never missed the South Boston Superbowl 10K, but Nora talked me into the 15K (I guess she REALLY wants some of that post-race stew :) We'll be out there!
ReplyDeleteYes, as Becky said, I'm in for this race too. A 15K just sounds so much more fun than a 5K or a 10K.
