Like having fun? If you haven't been to an ARE event, then you are yet to see just what a blast attending a race can be! The ARE directs three major races:

Brave the Blizzard 5k Snowshoe Race Held in the winter CLOSE
	This is a fun and low-key event that features an all-you-eat pancake breakfast after the run. Its purpose is to serve as an introductIon to snowshoeing, with Bob Dion on-hand providing loaners and helpful tips.   Fun Factor: Abominable snowsman, hearty meal, cheerful course signs. Event Website

Dodge the Deer 5k, Mile Fun Run, and Diaper Dash Coming April 20, 2008 CLOSE
	This was the first event the ARE ever produced. Its goal is to get people running on trails. The course is not technical at all and extremely fast, making it your perfect trail-running start! There is a whole story surrounding the characters in the event.   Fun Factor: Kids races, raffle, numerous costumed characters, a musical! Event Website

Hairy Gorilla Half Marathon and Squirrelly Six Mile Coming October 26, 2008 CLOSE
	Created in 2005, this event has become a favorite among many trail runners for both the beauty of the course and its festive Halloween atmosphere. Runners are encouraged to run in costume and even pick up bananas that are on the course!   Fun Factor: Halloween-theme, special categories, decorated course, gorillas! Event Website

The ARE also directs the fourth race in the HMRRC Winter Series and produces a free fifteen week Summer Trail Run Series! Every December we host our ever-challenging "ARE-Style Adventure Race" which features tree climbing, rock jumping, and more!

Lastly, the club is always looking to add new and unique events, so stay tuned as you never know what they may think of next.
