Down Under Joe




Joe Tarantello (Class of 2008, loyal blog follower and great friend of the program) quite possibly set the unofficial record for racing in a Marist Alumni Racing Team singlet the furthest distance from Poughkeepsie.

On July 4, Joey Tat ran the Gold Coast Airport Marathon in Australia. That’s right. Down Under. Coming off his great effort in Boston and after a busy spring track season of coaching in Connecticut, Joe was looking at this more as a destination marathon/long run.

He did great nonetheless, placing 117th out of 4,527 finishers and seventh in the 18-24 age group in 2:55:36. Nicely done, Joe!

Check out the artsy photo of the singlet, along with a smiling post-race Running Red Fox.
