In early 2018, we moved our email listserve to Google Groups due to unreliable service from our previous provider Yahoo. The Club listserve is where we keep you updated on coming events including races, group runs, meetings, and other activities. It's also a forum for discussing training programs, running health and injury prevention, and anything else of interest in the local running community. You do not have to be a dues-paying member of the NVRC to join our listserve, but we encourage you to join the Club!
If you would like to join our Google Group, instructions and more are here.

The 2022 United Way Day of Caring was held on October 6. The NVRC took part with another of their annual PSU Golf Course trail maintenance projects. Cheree Jones coordinated with Joe Hughes, Penn State Golf Courses PGA General Manager. The NVRC also provided lunch for the crew. This year the 11 volunteers included Jarod Stanton from Barton Associates, Tom Weller from Auntie Anne’s, Penn State Parents Council, Laura Gebhart, Lisa Love, and Miriam Powell from the Penn State Field Hockey coaching staff, as well as Joe Hughes, Cheree and Bob Jones, Janie Brown, and Liz and Jim Kisenwether. They cleared brush, especially from wooded segments of the trail, working tirelessly to make the trail safer. Sections of the trail were widened, outlets were created, and the grass leading to the entrances off of Blue Course Drive was cut. This trail has been a Centre County Day of Caring project for the NVRC each year from 2011-2022 (There was an informal small group of volunteers in 2020 due to the pandemic.) Here are some photos from the day of the project.

The 2023 United Way Day of Caring was held on October 5. The NVRC took part with another of their annual PSU Golf Course trail maintenance projects. Cheree Jones coordinated with Joe Hughes, Penn State Golf Courses PGA General Manager. The NVRC also provided lunch for the crew. This year there were numerous volunteers including Penn State Humphrey Fellows, SCASD Delta Program students, and various individuals including Club members. The large crew cleared brush, widened trails and made outlets more open. They also groomed rocky sections of the trail, removing large rocks and adding mulch over some stony sections. This trail has been a Centre County Day of Caring project for the NVRC each year from 2011-2023 (There was an informal small group of volunteers in 2020 due to the pandemic.) Here are some photos from the day of the project.
