Races

Hi all,

Race number 17 was the NYRR 50^th Anniversary Run.  We ran the lower 5-mile loop counter-clockwise, starting and finishing at Tavern on the Green.

Hi all, Race number 16 was the Japan Day 4-Mile Run.  We ran the middle loop, starting and finishing on the 102^nd Street Transverse. Goals:  to run between the water stations and to finish in under 36.   

Hi all,

To avoid overwhelming you, this will be a double recap, covering my 2^nd and 3^rd races in 5 days.  I ran the Wall Street 5k on Tuesday, May 20^th, and the first Media Challenge on Wednesday, May 21^st.

Hi all,

Race number 13 was the U.Penn Alumni Run 2-miler.  It was 2 miles through and around campus – the most beautiful campus in the world!

Race number 12 was the Mother’s Day 10-miler. We started on the East Drive, just south of the 72^nd Street Transverse, ran the lower 5-mile loop, crossing the Park at the 102^nd Street Transverse, then continuing the loop all the way up to the north end of the Park, then down the West Drive to finish on the 72^nd Street Transverse.

Hi all,

Race number 11 (9^th 2009 marathon-qualifying race – I just need to “volunteer” at a race to have guaranteed entry) was the Brooklyn Half Marathon.

Hi all, Race number 10 (8^th 2009 marathon-qualifying race) was the adidas Run for the Parks 4-miler.  We started just south of the 72^nd Street Transverse and ran the middle loop, finishing on the Transverse itself.  This race started the new corral system, for which all runners are seeded based on previous races.  I’m in the 4^th

Hi all,

Hi all,

Race number 8 (6^th 2009 marathon-qualifying race) was the Scotland 10k, which took us around the big loop of Central Park and then some to complete the 10k distance.

It's been hard to follow the progress of the Colorado Runner Racing Series, the 16-event pan-state series that results in an unofficial nomination of the Colorado runners of the year. But now Derek Griffiths, publisher of sponsors Colorado Runner magazine, has revamped the reporting of the series to bring ASAP updates of the latest standings AND individual race results to the Colorado Runner website.
