Thirsty Irish Runners (TIR) has only been in existence since 2000. Since then, membership has steadily grown. The bulk of the members live within Dedham to eastern Massachusetts. Sure, we work out together sometimes, swap stories and information about running, drive to the races together, pace one another and do all those things “runners” do.

But it is the this one simple, unconditional thing…. …. running, that starts us on the road together. Friends for the long winding road.
