After coffeteria, pax setup the vendor table. ScarU came over after the WW beatdown to man the booth along w Dos Equis. YHC, Milky Way, Gerrard, TowPath, and Pork Roll ran in the 10k trail run. Of note, 1) Milky Way finished 8th overall (1st in AG), 2) PorkRoll finished 10th overall (1st in AG), and 3) Gerrard finished 15th overall (3rd in AG). This was TowPath’s longest race to date, although that distinction will be short-lived as he will be running the Princeton Half Marathon next Sunday (along with YHC, MilkyWay, DickClark, and SideOut)! Graf, Downhill, and Dick Clark ran in the 5k trail run. Well done all! We had good interactions with the other vendors and visitors to the table, including an appearance by Trenton Thunder’s Boomer! Thanks again to all who helped out to make today such a great day!
Honored to lead.
YHC, Black Hole
