Hi RAW Series Community It's with heavy hearts that we have decided to postpone all RAW Series local activities. The website will continue to look for ways to support a healthy Waltham community, and the local businesses that have been there for us over the past 7 years. And while we hope the race season is back to a new normal in 2021, the Irvings will be participating virtually from a distance. Tim has accepted a position in Washington, D.C. and him and Kathy are now located in the Penn Quarter neighborhood. It's an exciting opportunity and we're looking we've started some new adventures in our new city. We're forever grateful for the love and support we've had throughout our years in Waltham and for all of the wonderful memories we'll take with us. We hope to bring the spirit of Waltham with us to D.C. and who knows, maybe they'll be a Race Around Washington in our future! With love and gratitude, Tim and Kathy Irving We started this adventure eight years ago with a simple goal of supporting healthy lifestyles and fostering community involvement in Waltham. Our mission was to give back to the running community by cross promoting Waltham's running events and the local business community. Unlike other Series, participants could run, walk or volunteer (any combination) to earn prizes and receive an invitation to the end-of-year Awards Night. Neither the individual races nor the runners paid a fee to be part of the RAW Series because it was funded through generous sponsorships by local businesses. |
