Scores Summer Series for Scholarships

Embark on a meaningful mid-week challenge at the Scores Summer Series for Scholarships, kicking off its eight-week run on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, in scenic Keene, NH. This beloved "Old School" (No Frills) series, organized by the Scores Running Club, offers a welcoming atmosphere for all abilities, from casual walkers to competitive runners aiming for personal bests. Each 2.8-mile race begins promptly at 6:00 PM at Wheelock Park, near the pavilion, featuring a flat, out-and-back, twisty loop that notably includes a "Circle (because Keene loves circles)!".

The Scores Summer Series is more than just a race; it's a community event dedicated to a worthy cause, with proceeds directly supporting scholarships for local high school students pursuing collegiate running careers. Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions around mid-June in Keene, with highs generally around 77°F and lows around 52°F, alongside an 18% chance of precipitation. The event proceeds rain or shine, pausing only for thunderstorms, ensuring a consistent opportunity to run. Post-race, participants can enjoy light refreshments and celebrate their achievements.

Join fellow enthusiasts for this inclusive event, where the emphasis is on fun, camaraderie, and supporting future athletes. Those who complete at least six of the eight weekly races will also earn a commemorative T-shirt. Whether you're chasing a fast time or simply enjoying an evening run with friends, the Scores Summer Series for Scholarships offers a unique blend of community spirit and charitable impact in the heart of Keene.
