Walkway Marathon Weekend





This weekend marks the 2nd annual Walkway Marathon racing extravaganza! With over 2500 runners making their way to the Hudson Valley this weekend the race looks to build on the success they enjoyed last year! For those of you who were there last year we had a nice representation of current running Red Foxes and alums who took part in the inaugural event. Who could forget Ricky Willi competing in and finishing his first marathon, albeit with no marathon training leading up to it! Or the quiet and humble (insert laughter) Steve Rizzo winning the first 5k contested on the weekend! This year we are looking forward to a large number of current team members and alums taking place in one of the three races being contested on Sunday! Some of the best runners in team history will be taking part in the half-marathon and marathon. At the conclusion of the races there will be a private reception for any members of the Marist XC/TF family in the Cornell Boathouse! In order to gain admittance to the event you will need to get a wristband from either Coach Pete or myself that day. We look forward to a great day of races and catching up with all of you! Make sure that if you are racing to wear your Marist singlet and if you are coming just to cheer on your friends and alums to wear Marist XC/TF gear!! There will be a photographer there taking pics for the college and their PR department so make sure to have fun and show everyone there what Marist XC is all about!!
