We are proud to announce that the Marist Alumni Racing Team defended its title at the Taconic Road Runners Mudders and Grunters trail and mud race on Sunday down in Westchester County. The roughly 5-mile race includes tough terrain, a stream crossing and lots of mud. I did not get pictures of full race reports, but given this year’s mild and dry weather, maybe it was not as muddy?
Anyway, the team scoring goes four deep. As you see by the results below, our top 4 did quite well.
It was great to see Marist Running Alum Chris McCloskey also in the race, a strong 12th place. Chris was running for the Albany Running Exchange, the strong team that vies for the title each year as well. We consider the ARE our running friends; along with “Chomps,” recent grad Nick Webster runs for them, and our local running buddy and streak running legend Dick Vincent coaches with the ARE. Also, they have a killer Web site, perhaps one of the best running Web sites I have ever seen!
Below are results. Above is a brewpub photo from Saturday night, with this sleep-deprived coach holding his trusty mug of coffee.
Glad to be able to keep the Geronimo Cup – given to the Mudders team champs for safe keeping each year -- in the office for yet another year.
