Junyong Pak not only organized the men's teams for the annual Lynn Woods 4x2.5 mile cross-country relay, ran the first leg, then immediately set up his hot grill to cook burgers and dogs for club members. He sliced onions and tomatoes and provided Coca-Cola, mustard, ketchup, and beer. What a wonderful way to go. The big news in the racing came from the performance of club president Bruce

The best road race in the United States by Katie Famous Katie Famous heads for the finish at Falmouth For 5 years in a row, the Falmouth Road Race has been my favorite running event of the year. When I joined the club, Tom Derderian told me that a big part of post-collegiate running is not always about what you do, but who you do it with. The Falmouth Road Race epitomizes this for me. I

Max White led a small contingent of GBTC runners including Jacob Trevino in his club debut at this small race in my town. I think GBTC would have won the team prize but the data entry person did not enter our runners as GBTC so the Lynn AC got the prize.
