A different kind of cross country




Just received this email and these photos from Marist Running Alum (and proud 1,000-meter record holder, 2:28.56 for those keeping score at home) Bryan Quinn. Quinn, now a proud member of NYPD, participated in the Tri-State Tough Mudder down at Raceway Park in Englishtown, N.J.

Here is the email he wrote to go along with these fancy photos:

“I’m writing to inform you that we have taken the Marist Alumni Racing team to the next level! Myself, along with Mike Bamberger, Chris Baum, and Matthew Szymaszek (correct spelling) aka CT, competed in the Tri-State Tough Mudder 12 mile race with 32 obstacles spread throughout. The course was designed by British Special forces and its proceeds go to the Wounded Warrior Foundation. IT WAS ABSOLUTE HELL! We ran through mud, jumped in freezing cold water, swam up and under obstacles in the middle of lakes, climbed over walls, and through tunnels. The race took about three hours to complete, but was worth every second of it, especially since I had some fellow Marist Alums by my side! Hope you have a good laugh at the pictures!"
