Mt Greylock Road Race

6th series, race #2 of 5

Congratulations to Turner Zamore and Megan Davis on their wins! We had very good weather for the race, which was shortened slightly (but slightly longer than last year, I believe) due to traffic concerns. Usual finish circled in black, this years in white.



The following was written by new member Mark Staples, thanks Mark n welcome to the series!  
“43rd Annual Mount Greylock Road Race took place on the Sunday before Labor Day this year (Sept. 2). The Berkshire Running Center, which now puts on the race, had their largest-ever field, with 255 finishers.
The Greylock Road Race is not a pure climb. Once one gets past 4.3 miles, the majority of the climbing is over. In total the elevation gain is just over 2,400 ft. over 7.7 miles (BRC calls it an 8-mile race, which makes one’s pace more impressive in the results), but it’s really 7.7 or thereabouts according to the GPS data. Miles 2–4.3 are the big climbing miles, and then after that you have a hilly road race on your hands. So to do well in this race you need a few gears.”
Welcome also to Len Hall, Ed & Robin Varney, Cris Cote and Rich Larsen that joined our series after RTTTOVT!
Next up will be the Prospect Mountain Road Race. Hasn’t been completely finalized yet but looks like Sat, May11th. Link to Host Club   https://www.adirondackrunners.org/
Pictures from the race follow stat’s. Most copied from Berkshire Running Center FB page, thank you! If you get pictures @ Prospect n can send them to me for possibly using in the next update, that would be great! See you @ Prospect!!!
Please let me know of any errors, thanks!
