Thirsty Irish Runners (TIR) has only been in existence since 2000. Since then, membership has steadily grow. The bulk of the members live in Dedham to eastern Massachusetts.

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. Although the TIR is more than that, it’s belonging to a family. As the miles and all the years go by, we come to know what we share is rich and complex. But it is the this one, simple, unconditional thing…running, that starts us on the road together. Friends for the long winding road.
