2016 Almgren Memorial Mayday Race Results
(May 1, 2016)

The Rutgers Physics Speedy Team won the 41st annual Fred Almgren memorial race trophy, with a time of 2:52. There were 9 or 10 teams competing.

This was the first race held in the rain since 2009, and a few runners were chased by geese. A one-person "team" formed spontaneously at 10-mile locks, and completed the last 8 miles to the surprise of the timers. but no other incidents.

The next race will be Sunday May 7, 2017, from Rutgers to Princeton.

    Thanks! The picnic team did an awesome job this year!
    We are grateful to Katie McKeon, Brooke Logan, Sam Braunfeld, Matt Charnley, Matt Hohertz Abigail Raz and Chris Woodward. The picnic dealt with rain, relocation, picnic groves and parking. Thanks for making this year's picnic happen!

    Thanks also go to the many timers of this year's race! They were: Chuck Weibel, Kaitlin Ek, Amitesh Datta, Nathan Fox, Semeon Artamonov, Branden Wawrzyniak, Eric Chen and Rachel Levanger.
