March Track Meet Closes Out FLRC’s 2019 Indoor Season
We closed out our winter indoor track season with a smaller, relaxing meet that showcased some fabulous races and times. The March meet is often a bit smaller because high school kids are done with their indoor season and taking some downtime before outdoor track starts. But we still drew nine teams, including collegiate running clubs from… Read more »
FLRC’s February Track Meet Showcases Fast Times and Numerous Teams

Recap of the 2019 Hartshorne Memorial Masters Mile
I’m pleased to report that one of FLRC’s marquee events, the Hartshorne Memorial Masters Mile, was once again a success, despite us having to move up both the meet and post-race banquet by 90 minutes to accommodate weather-related changes. On Thursday before the Saturday race, we were told that the Cornell administration was considering closing the university early… Read more »
Youth running on the rise at FLRC’s January indoor track meet
This past Sunday marked FLRC’s first indoor meet of 2019, and it was a rousing success, with 198 runners and 436 entries across 5 events.

PGXC Race #4 at Taughannock an Ithaca success!
On Sunday, November 4, we ran the fourth race of the Pete Glavin Cross Country series on our “home” course for the year at Taughannock Falls State Park.

Down and Most Definitely Dirty in Danby
Thank you everyone who came out to Danby this past Saturday to stomp through the swamp and then crush your quads on some big descents. The forest had the sloppiest race day trails it’s had in years. It appears the crummy forecast didn’t scare everyone away. On the contrary, we had way more registrants than… Read more »
