Our new web site has been online for about 8 months now. Most of the content from the old site is available and updated to the new format. The biggest outstanding category on the "to-do" list is to bring the pictures in from older races and to update some of the running route maps. Here are some of the new features:

A cleaner look with pulldown menus and a search tool to help navigate the site. If you have any suggestions on how to make the site easier to use, let us know!
The calendars have been updated (Please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. if you notice problems...). The main calendar page shows the next two weeks of events from all of the calendars, and you can select which calendars you wish to see. All future races are visible on the race calendar, and there is a drop-down to select various categories of races. Links in events now work on all the calendars and you can search the events with your browser's page search command. If you want to add the calendars to your personal calendars like Outlook, iCal, or Google calendars, look underneath the various calendars for subscription buttons.
The race results section now has a filter so you can select just the race you want to see.
There are now several web site authors. These authors are in charge of keeping you up to date on the doings of some of our Club's running groups and activities, such as the Thursday Track Crew, Group Runs, Beginner's Group, and the Race Series.
Joining the Nittany Valley Running Club or renewing your membership can now be done online.

Please let us know what you think. Email either This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or This email address is being protected from spambots.

If you can't find something from the old site on the new one, use the search bar above. Much of the new site is cataloged and searchable. More of it will become searchable soon.

Finally, if you need it, the old site is still available here, but please let us know if there was something broken on the new site that made it so that you needed the old site. In time, the old site will become out of date.

Group Runs (test)

Details: Written by Administrator Administrator

The Nittany Valley Running Club has been holding Saturday morning group runs since the middle of July 2003. Lately, we've been getting several options every weekend, and have a Sunday option fairly regularly. We even hold an evening group run now and then during the week. Keep an eye on the Group Runs page here on the NVRC web site, or join the Yahoo! Discussion Group NVRC to get the current week’s run plan. The group runs also appear on the main calendar.

There are often local races that many in the club participate in and there may not be an organized group run on those days. If there's not a scheduled run check out the race calendar.

Though the group runs attract a wide range of ability, they are not meant for novices. The group usually covers 6-12 miles at a 8-10 minute/mile pace, depending on the route, the conditions, and who comes. There is usually an option to go shorter, which some runners take, and an option for those who want a longer training run. The whole group is usually together for at least a few miles.

If you are a beginner, or are not up to the distance or pace of the group runs, check out the new NVRC Beginner Runs. And the Bellefonte Road Raiders also have frequent weekend group runs.

For a little more about the pace and mileage of the various group runs, see "Can I Keep Up With You?"

We are always looking for organizers for the runs. All it requires is for you to let us know so we can post the time, place, and a description of what you plan to do. Email Marty Mazur at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. if you can help!
