The Rutgers Math grad student team "Sloan's Teddy" were the winners of the 2003 Fred Almgren memorial race trophy, winning with a time of 3:07, at a pace of 7:20 minutes/mile. Second place went to Columbia University, which fielded a team for the first time since 1979. There were six teams in all competing this year.
Due to construction at the end of leg #1 under I-287, the first two
legs were altered slightly, with the result that the race was 25.5
miles long this year.
The results are presented below in a series of tables :

Notes: *= first leg 3.5 (shorter by 0.2), second leg 4.3
(longer) due to construction under I-287 overpass
a=approximate, time based on second runner's speed on leg #2
c=RU Math#2 runner started leg #4 with CS runner, 5:55 early. Leg #4-7
times have been corrected for this.
p=Columbia's runner started leg #5 in the parking lot, took 17 seconds
to get to towpath
e=estimated (error at most 90 seconds); final runner for RU Math#1 was
not timed at the end of the race.
