Novemberfest a Funfest

Bob Thompson
It is hard to believe but the Wednesday Evening Church Group (WECG) elevated the Novemberfest Trail Run and Party to a new level. With generous sponsorship from Pfizer (Viagra), The Club National, Coldrunning.com, Senecal Beverage, Skyview Cafe and Brewery, Bigelow Chiropractic, Sport Loft and Saucony this was truely a CLASSIC event.

Viagra spokesman Bob Dole literally rose to the occasion and arrived just in time to greet runners at the start of the run. Steve Rogers of the NH 1st Regiment of the Continental Line got things off with a bang promptly at 11:33 am. Each and every runner enjoyed the spring-like weather and the beauty of Nashua's Mine Falls Park.

Former Gate City Strider President, Steve Doyle, travelled over 1800 miles to work at the water/beer/mimosis/cheese/crackers/beef jerky stop which was a highlight to many a runner. Several runners returned to the refreshment stop after the run for a cool down. A few runners even brought there own chairs to the water stop to catch some rays before finishing the run. Skip Cleaver almost presented Doyle with a beautiful plaque in appreciation for years of service to the running community, but he forgot it at home.

Fran "last call" Dwyer walked away with the first of many unusual door prizes.

All of the runners feasted on a smorgasboard of goodies such as hot chicken soup (our chef had a bone on for several days), homemade chili, spaghetti and meatballs, beans and dogs, hamburgers, pickled eggs, brownies and cookies and even a cold beer or three.

Thanks to all of the volunteers and runners who once again made Novemberfest a special occasion.
