Great job to the NACHOs who raced at the Jerry Garcia 5K!  Welcome back to Jason who took some (much needed) time off to heal from injury - great job out there!  And welcome back to Meg - good to see you in an orange singlet again!

NACHO Gear

We have changed the process in which we are distributing NACHO gear such as singlet, t-shirts and drinking shirts. We will be doing bulk ordering 4 times per year, so insure that we have gear ready for big team events.
The next team event is the Oktoberfest 5K in Kendall Square, Cambridge on Oct 14th. We will be taking orders for NACHO gear until Wednesday Sept 26th.
Singlets are $25
Dri-fit shirts are $25
Drinking shirts (cotton) are $10
Email nachorunning@gmail.com anytime between now and then.  Once the deadline has passed we will re-open the google checkout for people to pay online.  Thanks!
(we have some inventory now, so if we have your size in stock we will get you the gear asap!)

Jim Kane Sugarbowl 5K

Great job to the NACHOs who ventured down to "southie" to race this flat, fast 5K.  Both Brian and Anne ran 5K PRs, and Anne won her division.  Jeff wasn't scared off by the NACHO crew at the VERT race and returned for more, happy to have him run with the team for a second time!  He ran fast, then ran off to celebrate with champagne!  :-)  And Mike drove like a nascar driver to get to the race on time, only to be pulled over by one of Massachusetts' finest making an illegal turn leaving the race...thankfully, his sweet talking left him with a warning, no ticket!

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!!
