Scores Summer Series for Scholarships

Lace up your shoes for the Scores Summer Series for Scholarships, a vibrant 2.8-mile race set for August 5, 2026, in scenic Keene, NH. This "Old School" event, hosted by the Scores Running Club, offers a flat, out-and-back twisty loop course with a unique "Circle" that runners in Keene have come to appreciate. The start and finish are conveniently located by the pavilion in Wheelock Park, providing an easy gathering point for participants. Runners of all abilities, from walkers to sub-5-minute milers, are welcomed into this judgment-free atmosphere to chase their personal goals.

More than just a race, the Scores Summer Series is a community cornerstone, dedicated to a powerful cause: providing scholarships to area high school students pursuing collegiate running careers. Typical race day conditions in early August bring highs around 82F and lows around 57F, with a 16% chance of precipitation, making for generally pleasant evening running. The event runs rain or shine, except in the case of thunderstorms.

After crossing the finish line, celebrate your achievement and enjoy light refreshments with fellow runners. As part of an 8-week series, committing to at least six events will also earn you a commemorative T-shirt. Join the Scores Summer Series for Scholarships for a fun evening run that makes a tangible difference in the lives of aspiring student-athletes.
