Thanks to everyone who came out yesterday and made the Relay such a success! The Relay race provides a significant part of our chapter’s income each year, and make it possible for us to invest in better trails throughout the year.

Results are posted at http://newtontiming.com. A desktop or laptop will work best for viewing.

    Awareness Signs
