21 July -- Charles Terry's debut spoiled by Race's 2nd place team finish at Indian Ladder 3.5 Mile
Parker Race's best team finish yet was matched by Chuck Terry's dad Charles' surprise debut at the Indian Ladder 3.5 mile and 15k races this Sunday. Both ran an excellent race.
Many Utopians ran both races to burn the fuel necessary to thoroughly enjoy the HMRRC annual picnic following the race at Thacher Park. Congratulations to all participants and many thanks to the Hudson Mohawk Road Runners Club for putting on an excellent race and picnic.
