The Festival of Flag Races as we knew it through 2006 was discontinued in 2007 because it was not attracting as many Club members as expected and the competition was not what it could have been had more members participated. Travel distances to the races were frequently prohibitive. In its place the Club in 2008 is featuring a series of races, again one in each of the six New England states but with a more local emphasis. In each an attempt will be made to turn out our members to run, to socialize and to spread information about the Club encouraging other runners 65 years of age and older to join. The races selected as of April are the following:
