Covered Bridges Half Marathon UVRC Pacers
To join a pace group look for the pacers at the UVRC tent near the start line, or jump in with them on the course. Look for their OFFICIAL PACER shirts and their Pace Time Signs.

Rob Frost
Pacing CBHM is one of my favorite running events of the year! This will be my 4th time pacing this race and second in a row as a pacer for the 1:30 group with Michael. I’ve been running with the UVRC for over a decade and enjoy racing a wide range of distances on both roads and trails

Chris Welker
Chris is an avid trail runner and ultramarathoner, but every now and then you’ll find him on roads. He enjoys running with the Upper Valley Running Club and has paced for several different races. Covered Bridges is one of his favorite races, and he can’t wait to help you meet and exceed your goals!
Drew Prescott
This will be my third time pacing a half marathon and second year pacing the CBHM. I love road running, trail running, and any other activity that lets me enjoy the outdoors. I’m also an avid sourdough bread baker, so if you want to pick up any bread baking tips while we run, let me know!

Luke grew up in Hanover and ran cross country for the high school team. He ran his first half-marathon in eighth grade and has run many since, but this is his first Covered Bridges half-marathon. Luke is a student at the University of Vermont and is a member of the Nordic ski club. In addition to running and skiing Luke is also an avid rower.

Blaine Ayotte
I have been running and skiing for as long as I can remember. I run and ski in all kinds of races ranging from 5k’s to marathons and tend to prefer longer distances. This is my first time running CBHM and I look forward to running at a steady pace!
Hi, my name is William and I am thrilled to be pacing for Covered Bridges this year! I love running because it brings me life, and because I enjoy the process of breathing through the things moving around me. Some of my non-running hobbies include chess, singer-songwriter music production, weightlifting, and badminton!

Geoff Dunbar
I am a founding member and former president of the Upper Valley Running Club. This will be my fifth time acting as pacer for CBHM, finishing within a minute of goal time each race. After a long run, I enjoy eating ice cream with maple syrup

Lydia Tucker
I first got into running because I loved going on long walks in high school, and when someone noticed that and suggested I try running, I realized it allowed me to do some of my favorite things: wander around town, listen to music, think, and talk with friends. I always look forward to summer runs with my dogs attached to my waist belt then taking a dip in the cool lake/river afterwards. I ran the Manchester City and New England Half Marathons and at Dartmouth, I’m involved in the cycling and triathlon teams.
Scott Prescott
I’ve run many half marathons and a few marathons over the years. Covered Bridges is definitely one of my favorites. When not running I love hiking with my family which includes my dog Pemi (she’s almost done with all 48!) and baking any kind of bread product, bagels are my latest undertaking. I can’t wait to meet you all and enjoy a run together!

I’ve always loved running, it keeps me grounded and meeting great people along the way. My favorite race format has to be the steeplechase, it always drew a crowd at the water jump when I ran it in college. This will be my third CBHM, second pacing.

Kylie Flynn
This is my first time pacing Covered Bridges(I’m super excited)! I really enjoy running because I like to push myself mentally and physically and I love the community that running can create. I moved to New Hampshire from Alaska a few years ago and really enjoy hiking and biking in my free time
Kathleen is a working toddler mom who loves to run to get outside (even in the middle of winter), to socialize, and for the mental health benefits. In her spare time, she enjoys gardening and sampling chocolate croissants at local bakeries with her daughter. CBHM was her first half marathon back in 2019, and it continues to be one of her favorite races.

Misha Advena
I joined UVRC last year and enjoy our community a lot. I am not fast, but I love trying. Half marathon is my favorite – long, but not too long.
RJ is the current President of the Upper Valley Running Club and is proud to have the UVRC Community supporting the CBHM again! He loves running CBHM as a pacer because it combines a few of his favorite things; talking to people and running for fun! This will be his fourth time as a CBHM pacer and building up a long list of dad jokes to keep his pace group entertained. Apart from running he likes video games, Korean dramas, and trashy romance novels.
