2009 Almgren Memorial Mayday Race Results
(May 3, 2009)

This was the soggiest race in years, due to almost steady rain, but the towpath was in remarkably good shape. One team's fourth leg was delayed by 7 minutes, as their designated runner took off in the wrong direction and had to be replaced.

In addition, the clock timing the end of the race broke before the times could be adjusted, so the final times reflect our consensus best guesses.

The results are presented below in a series of tables :
