The 2012 NMC Summer Series was recently completed with the 4C’s race. The series included sixteen races. Within this series the club also held a trail series that included five trail races included in the summer schedule as well as two additional club sponsored trail races, the Overlook trail race and the Templeton 7M Trail Race. Altogether ninety-four club members participated in at least one of the Grand Prix races. Three club members completed all sixteen races. First time Grand Prix Ironwomen Heidi Handy and Denise Lawson will be awarded jackets recognizing their achievment. Second time winner Peter Orni will have his jacket embroidered to note his achievment as well.
