2015 Almgren Memorial Mayday Race Results
(May 3, 2015)

The 40th annual Fred Almgren memorial race was won by the Rutgers Math and Rutgers Physics teams, who tied. The winning teams crossed the finish line in a time of 3:03:40, hand in hand.

There were 9 teams, including the Slowly Converging Zombies, who chased Team Morel and ate part of a timer, causing a loss of data. The results we do have are presented below in a series of tables :

  • TABLE 1 : 2015 teams and overall times
  • TABLE 2 : Team split times

* Rutgers Fun Team exchanged at S. Bound Brook after 39:48, but the 
  Zombies ate the timer so that split time is unreliable. That team
  also split leg 6 at Rocky Hill, at 2:49:02
+ Team Morel bypassed Griggstown, chased by Zombies. 
  She was spotted at Rocky Hill, at about 12:30PM
