Race Director: Howie Atherton
Race Director Comments: I am absolutely certain that the continued
success and growth of this event is directly related to the fantastic job
that the volunteers do every year. Runners will comment about the course
or the scenery, but the overwhelming feedback from most runners is simply
that they like coming to the race. They feel welcome, they feel cared for,
they enjoy the race AND the people they meet. We should mention Dave Vent
who flew into New York from Spokane, WA, drove up Friday evening, slept
in his car, ran the race (not his best effort), planned to sleep in his
car again, then drive to the Stamford, CT Marathon on Sunday, and then
fly back home. Dave's statement/question after the race will remain with
me for a while. "I've got to replace these lost fluids if I'm going to
run tomorrow", he said wisely like a man who has run 60 marathons. I pointed
out that we could get him Gatorade or apple cider . He put his arm across
my shoulder and said, "Son, you don't understand, where the nearest place
I can get a six pack?" And then there was Emer Downs, laying on the floor,
feet on the wall. Telling me how she lost it the last several miles, how
her calves were killing her, how her whole body ached. This was her first
marathon so I asked her how she really felt. Her face lit up and her response
was immediate. "I feel fantastic." And that would be what it is all about.
