VERT Trail Run

Another epic event for NACHO AC! With 26 runners, NACHO tore up the 2.4 Mile trail run in full force: largest team at the event and most NACHO runners EVER for a NACHO Athletic event! Cambridge 5K organizer Eddie knows how to put on a great race - great course, awesome beer and a fun atmosphere! John, Curt and Katie were the top three NACHOs across the line, and their times (and the rest of the team's enthusiasm) lead to a first place (?) finish for the team! (some conflicting results after the fact are confusing some, but we feel like winners on the inside!).
Hope that many of the friends of NACHO who raced with us return for another event! The more the merrier!

JP Morgan Chase Corporate Challenge

The NACHOs braved the heat and the CROWDS (10982 RUNNERS!!!) to represent their respective companies in the Corporate Challenge. Everyone ran awesome despite the mobs of people!! Many of the NACHOs ended up at the Beacon Hill Pub afterwards, where it was determined that a bar basketball shootout game might need to be rented for the next beirut tournament!

2012 Reggae Ramble

A hot steamy night for 1122 runners to race along the Charles River for the ultimate goal: free beer at the finish line! Congrats to all of our NACHOs for braving the humidity and coming out for a great time! FLIP CUP at the end of the night was especially epic!

Tory Row 5K - Harvard Square

Another awesome event for the NACHO AC! It was a sea of orange as the NACHOs (and their friends) took to the streets of Harvard Square for the 2nd annual Tory Row 5K. Despite the cold, wet conditions, the team ran great - with the women's foursome of Katy, Lauren, Jen and Anne (the NACHO Ladies) finishing a very competitive 2nd in the women's team division after an incredibly fast CRC team! Katy and Lauren made their NACHO debuts, and blazed over the 3.1 mile course. Katy was 3rd woman overall, only 11 places behind Jon who is getting faster by the weekend!! A big thanks to Ray for being our stuff-holder and awesome cheerleader!!

After running, the crew celebrated with free beer, cornhole (it's a game with bean bags - get your mind out of the gutter!) and more beer! Great job everyone!!

Harpoon 5M: Boston, MA

Holy cow, what a day for the NACHOs!
For the second year in a row, the NACHOs made a splash at the Harpoon 5 Miler! With HOT temps the teams took the concrete course with shoes on fire - and finished on the medal stand! NACHO Cheese (co-ed team) finished 2nd out of 186 teams, and NACHO Beer (male team) finished 2nd out of 10 teams! Well done everyone! Everyone walked away with a mug trophy and a 6 pack of beer! After the award ceremony they could drink for free the rest of the afternoon...it was a great day!
So proud of all of our runners, especially Curt who PRed by over a minute! Great job everyone!

Blues Run 5K: Cambridge, MA

Welcome to summer, NACHOs!

The BAEvents Summer Race series has started and the troops of orange have hit the Charles River...and the after-party. With a shorter course this year (5K), this will be a great set of races to work on speedwork and hopefully be the opportunity for some PRs! A breakout performance by Jon, crushing the 6 min/mile pace mark! He finished 19th out of 1172 people, and Dave wasn't far behind! A strong group going into the summer's team events! Great job everyone!!
