Year-End Race Roundup: The Great Cow Harbor Race
Finally, Cow Harbor. I’ve been running on Long Island since 2005 and this was my first Cow Harbor Race, probably our most famous race. I’d missed the previous years due to various reasons, but I made sure I made my way over to Northport on the morning of September 17th this time. Where to begin? […]

Year-End Race Roundup: Hope Runs Here 5K Race
The Hope Runs Here Breast Cancer Run is another worthy cause that benefits from a 5K Run. Here on Long Island, we have among the highest breast cancer rates in the US, so this is a cause that really hits home. For an inaugural race, they had a lot of participants with 419 finishers.

Year-End Race Roundup: 2011 Marcum Workplace Challenge

The 5K AIDS/Cancer Run/Walk took place on June 12, 2011. It is a charity event to benefit the Richard M. Brodsky Foundation. Let me put this in perspective by pointing out that Richard Brodsky is a guy who has been diagnosed with both AIDS and brain cancer. How did he respond? By continuing to run marathons […]
Year-End Race Roundup: Jack’s Run at Bar Beach
Jack’s Run is an autism awareness event where all proceeds benefit NSSA (Nassau Suffolk Services for Autism). These charity races are great because everyone seems to really enjoy themselves, a positive message is delivered and some money is raised for a good cause — Jack’s Run was no exception. My primary rule for choosing races […]
