Portsmouth honorary Rotarian Karen Pierce and club member John Rice prepare for the race. Karen’s late husband George was one of the founders of the Thunder Chicken Road Race.

 

Now we know why he crossed the road.

 

 

 

Who are those two folks with DG Lawrence?

They’re off!

The Portsmouth Rotary Club's 22nd annual 5K Thunder Chicken Road Race, held on Saturday, August 23, 2014, was a part of the “Run Portsmouth Road Race" series.  The race is held in memory of its founders, Rotarian George Pierce and in the memory of Anna M. & Erminio A. Ricci.
 
The Thunder Chicken 5K road race has made history, part of the local running scene for over two decades.  It has become a way to generate charitable dollars and also promote the Rotary Club of Portsmouth in the Seacoast community. 
 
Rotary 7780 District Governor Lawrence Furbish visited the club on August 14th, where he told members that he likes to run, bicycle and travel overseas.   DG Lawrence signed up for the road race and ran the course to support the club and the community.
