Walkway races: See you Sunday!

We are looking forward to a strong turnout of team members and alumni for Sunday's races. The excitement is building in the local running community for this second annual event. Because the races start and finish at the Hudson River on the Marist College campus, we as a Marist community are pretty pumped for this race. Folks across campus were pressing me for a number in terms of participation from the Marist Running family. I estimated around 75, and this has become the narrative in several press releases. After reviewing the final entry list for all three races, it appears we will be just a little short of that number. By my count, we should have between 60 and 65 alums or current team members entered in the race. That's still a great showing. We kindly ask that all affiliated with Marist Running wear something Marist -- loud and proud. We will be gathering at the Cornell Boathouse for an informal reception after the races finish -- see me or Coach Chuck for a "fancy wristband" to get in there -- and please stick around for photos. We look forward to having a nice turnout, no matter the final number. OK!
