VHTRC Web Site Archives
The current VHTRC Web site was developed in 2019, which involved moving everything to a new content management system (CMS). In 2009 the Web site underwent a prior change, moving club news to a database-backed CMS. Much of that content has been transferred over to the current CMS. But before that — in the good old days — club news was on the News Page. This was Facebook before there was Facebook and, to many of us, vhtrc.org was a big part of the World Wide Web.
In those days, it was the practice then to move news items from the main page to an archive page for each year. Additionally, in the old days, we had a forum for longer posts by club members.These treasure troves of trail running nostalgia are archived here.

The result is that your best way back here is probably with your browser’s Back button or a browser bookmark that you have set up ahead of time.
We are not planning to fix all these broken links. We couldn’t fix many of them if we wanted to. But if you see a really stupid thing that can be fixed easily or that is so bad that it has to go away, please contact us.
