Blue Ridge Relay 2024 – 9/5 to 9/9

To all runner pax!
The one and only spectacular Blue Ridge Relay is back on this year and Lowe’s is recruiting team members for 9 man team. Maybe if there is a lot of interest and commitments plans can change to 12 man team, not sure.


There are spots available, regardless.
Dates: depart for VA Sept 5, return from NC Sept 9.

Please reach out to DC and myself.
If you have done this before – BRR is your race, if you have always thought about it but have not tried – it is an experience to remember!

Brewster, MA on Cape Cod – Bucky – June 24th

Great downrange beat down in Brewster MA on Cape Cod. Terrific Q by @Hertz from Texas, and joined by my son-in-law Hotspur.  Another workout planned for Thursday.

We shared stories of the great growth and success of both south Texas and Princeton. Pretty amazing stuff in Texas, but central NJ is keeping pace.
