The Summer Series Returns June 3rd!

It doesn't feel like summer is just around the corner, but we are just a couple of weeks away from our summer-long series. Every Tuesday in June, July, and August, join us for a run!

• The West Boylston Rail Trai Fun Run Series features clearly marked 5K and 10K courses. Runs are self-timed and open to all.

• The Lake Park Summer Fitness 5K Series runs every Tuesday in July at Quinsigamond Lake Park in Worcester. Races start at 6:30 PM and are free for CMS members. Whether you're racing or volunteering, it's always a good time!

• Newton Hill XC Series kicks off in August, offering a chance to hit the trails in the heart of Worcester. It's a perfect way to gear up for cross-country season or just enjoy a tough Tuesday workout under the trees in Elm Park. Proceeds benefit the Friends of Newton Hill.

For full details, visit cmsrun.org or e-mail us at webmaster@cmsrun.org.

Hi CMS! We are just one week away from the Wachuse

Hi CMS! We are just one week away from the Wachusett Mountain Race, and we need a few more volunteers to make one of our biggest events of the year happen.

You don't need any experience to volunteer, and we always have a great day! Grab a friend and we'll station you together.

I've also added a couple of parking attendant positions to the sign up today, because we are likely going to overflow the regular parking lot this year. That's a nice early job if you need to be out of there by 9:30am!

And thank you to everyone that has already signed up to help before I even posted to Facebook, y'all are the best volunteers in the world and I am so grateful for all you do.

Please sign up online if you can:

Do you love CMS? Help lead it!

Nominations for our 2025-2026 CMS Executive Board are now being accepted. CMS is an entirely volunteer run organization, and this year we have several vacancies on the board and would love to have some new, energetic faces join us!

Please fill out the form linked below by Friday, May 30, 2025 to be placed on the ballot:
https://forms.gle/sPTZzy8a4s4SXNph6

It does not take any experience to be a part of the board. Just the ability to commit to our meetings on the first Tuesday of every month and the enthusiasm to participate. There are 12 positions on our board: President, Vice President, Treasurer, Assistant Treasurer, Clerk, Membership Secretary, and 6 Member-at-Large positions.

Any CMS member in good standing may declare themselves a candidate for any one of these positions. E-mail me at KLGordon@gmail.com with questions.

Thank you 💙

Shout out to Bob Brady, our first Volunteer of the Month in 2025!

If you have ever run the Saturday 5K, you know that Bob is the kind of volunteer that always has a smile on his face even this toughest conditions -- and if you have run a race in our Summer Series, you have probably brought home a delicious cucumber from his garden! Thank you Bob for everything you do, all year long.

Did you know that every CMS volunteer is entered in the drawing for Volunteer of the Month? The winner also gets a $25 gift card of their choice as a thank you.

Or head on down to the Saturday 5K, and have Bob show you the ropes. 😉
