2025 Almgren Memorial Mayday Race Results
(May 4, 2025)

The NYU/Courant Math Team won the 49th annual Fred Almgren memorial race, with a time of 2:48.
The IAS team came in second, and Princeton Math was third.
It rained heavily after the top 5 teams finished, soaking the 4 slower teams.

The 50th race will be Sunday May 3, 2026, from Princeton to Rutgers.
