Call for Fish Box Derby Cars
With the twentieth annual Fish Box Derby coming up in less than a month on September 15, the committee is looking for former racing families who have a car sitting in a garage or basement. We know of several young people between the ages of 8 and 14 who would like to race, but don’t have access to a car.
If you do have a car and you or your children are now too old to race, we are suggesting that you loan it to someone younger so that he or she can experience the “Thrill of the Hill.”
Please get in touch with us through www.fishboxderby.org or call Greg at 978 283 1932, we’ll help make arrangements to put cars and drivers together. Registration closes September 8.

15 Years Of Gloucester Cyclocross
In early May, the chances of our event taking place in Gloucester were close to zero. All efforts ceased and we focused 100% on two other venues.
What a turnaround in the past month. We have received the support of the Mayor, the Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce, the Open Space & Recreation Committee, racers, teams, and Gloucester citizens. Despite a delayed start to the permit process, we submitted our applications and have received the approval of the Planning & Development Committee (P&D). We now have one final obstacle.
On Tuesday, August 27th, we’ll attend a public hearing in front of the full City Council. While I’m extremely hopeful, this is where we could really use the help of the community. If you support the Gran Prix of Gloucester, please consider showing your support at this public hearing.
A few weeks ago, over 75 supporters came to Stage Fort Park for the P&D site visit in a non-participatory role. Next week, the public WILL have the opportunity to speak and we hope to hear from you.
We humbly ask, if you support GP Gloucester, please come to Gloucester City Hall on Tuesday the 27th and voice your support.

The Manchester Athletic Club Has a New Fitness Director and She Rocks!!! The Get ‘Er Done- True Energy- Fitness Pro Nan Gorton!
Tremendous things will be happening at the MAC with Nan at the Helm of The Fitness department- Mark My Words!
Can’t wait for lobster season to end so I can get back in there!
Manchester Athletic Club Strengthens Fitness Program with New Director.
Manchester Athletic Club is strengthening its fitness program with leadership from Nan Gorton. Gorton was recently chosen to helm the business’ growing Fitness Division, which includes Manchester Athletic Club in Manchester by-the-Sea, MA, MAC Fitness in Rowley, MA and MAC Fitness in Gloucester, MA.
Gorton has been a staple at Manchester Athletic Club for the past seven years as a fitness trainer and co-owner of Hilltop Training, a popular running program among members. Most recently, she launched North Shore Sports Performance Institute (NSSPI), which offers sports performance training to kids 10-18 years old. She comes to the position with a myriad of backgrounds in addition to fitness, including careers as a lawyer and as an Olympic caliber athlete in the sport of women’s ice hockey.
The move will bolster the club’s already booming fitness department, which includes a ProFitness Program, personal training, TRX, pilates, swimming, basketball, nutrition and wellness, and over 75 group fitness classes—from strength to cardio, indoor cycling, Zumba, mind body, aquatics and Les Mills Body Pump and Body Combat.
“Nan brings a tremendous amount of energy, expertise and creativity to our members and, importantly, to our local community,” said Keith Callahan, General Manager and Managing Partner. “With Nan’s leadership, we’re excited to launch new programs for our members and have already developed a unique program called Commit to Get Fit that will be provided for club members as well as open to the community this fall.”
“I have always believed that great success comes from sharing a common goal and working together to make it happen,” added Gorton. “I am excited to get to work getting the best out of everyone I work with both as a coach and a manager.”
Manchester Athletic Club is a full-service health club featuring 12 tennis courts, the Gymazing! Child Center for preschool-aged children, iXl programs for young teens, a fitness and strength training center staffed with certified professional trainers, indoor aquatics center, multiple group exercise studios, and an outdoor pool with playground.
