Great Racing At Emmas Run2024-05-09 - From Harveys email - Kudos to Adam and family for doing the necessary work and investment necessary to pull this off. Grey skies could not dampen the spirits at the latest rendition- from the 400 kids (all wearing #1) dashing and earning beautiful medals to the kids run, adult walk and certified 5 mile course it has something for everyone. As an added benefit it has become a showcase for HFC and friends. The sea of green could not have been more impressive - in the top 10, 9 either were previous club members or current.
Congrats to Sophie who set a new club record and Christina C who lowered her own club record.

HFC On Strava
Eddie Katz Sets 15K HFC Masters Record2025-04-07 - Congratulations to Eddie Katz for setting a new HFC record in the masters 15k distance! He ran 52:55 at the Frank Nealon 15K and breaks TJ's 53:35 from the same race in 2019. Sophie Crushes HFC Mile Club Record2025-01-22 - Congratulations to Sophie at the GBTC Invitational for crushing the HFC 1 mile indoor track record of 5:13.57 held by Meaghan Scaerbo since 2003! From Harvey - Snubbed from the invitational heat, Sophie’s only competition was herself as she lapped many runners on her way to a massive PR of 5:03.94. Sophie won the heat by over 25 seconds! A very even split race as well. Tremendous effort by Sophie kicking off 2025 with a pending club record in the indoor mile.(BTW Sophie would have been in contention for the win in the invitational heat - her time would have placed her third, but the winning time was only 4:58 so good chance she would have been in the mix.
** UPDATE - Sophie broke the record again at the Harvard Invitational with a 5:02.34! Congratulations.
