Record Field Opens 25th Season

One of the largest fields in Roxbury history gathered on a blustery winter Saturday morning to open the 25th season of the Roxbury Road Races. The parking lot was muddy and crowded, and the jogging track was covered with snow, so people were warming up in the road. Folks who in just a few months will race in little more than an ounce or two of nylon were bundled warm against the biting north wind, and the last finishers were dusted with snow flurries that preceded a blinding snow squall later in the morning.

In the race itself, young Matt Cole led for the first mile, with Steve Johnson, Mark Chantry and Chris Brigham hot on his heels. A the mile mark, right in front of Chris Brigham's own house, Brigham took the lead as Cole fell to third and Chantry dropped off the pace. Half a mile later, on the big hill, Johnson was reduced to walking and Brigham pulled away to capture the win for the home crowd.

Peg Molina returned to her winning ways with a 24 second win over Alyssa Cole among the women. Hot on Cole's heels were Lynn Zuback and Kimberly Thompson.

It looks like it could be a ferocious season.

The Roxbury Races are now listed on the Internet both on CoolRunning.com and on HiTekRacing.com.
