Castle Hill Park Monday Night 3 Miler

Castle Hill Park

Ely Street - off Queen Street
Worcester, Massachusetts 01609

Hosted by the Somerville Striders Athletic Club

A handful tonight didn't believe me when I said I wasn't that smart and they didn't complete the registration process...no bib# next to a name and I can't put a name to a bib# on someone I don't know that well...so we have a few nameless runners tonight!!

Anyway, I have solved the problem of getting folks to run from Castle Hill Park in droves...hamburgers and hotdogs--folks will do anything for hamburgers and hot dogs...especially when they are on "The Big Fella"...next to last years Worcester's Labor Day Mayor's Run...tonight was our biggest crowd…hamburgers and hot dogs--the common thread!!!

Well, I have to write about the young whippersnapper tonight...cause he won the highly coveted "Central Massachusetts Triple Crown Road Racing Title" last week...and only a handful of folks have ever done this...so one big hip, hip hooray to Alexander Engel of Spencer, Massachusetts who may just yet be the greatest road runner to come out of Central Massachusetts...if I'm wrong tell me one other cat who can/will do what Alexander did last week?????

Castle Hill Park 3 Miler - 1st Place

Rochdale 3 Miler - 1st Place

Paxton Road Race - 1st Place

Lastly...the whole Central Mass road racing community is packing its bags and heading out to Boston, Massachusetts this Sunday to run in the New Charles River Run...I'll be there, how about you???

Special Thanks to the Red Bull gals who stopped by in the specially equipped Red Bull Mobile...they passed out free Red Bull and just helped make it a nice running experience for most this evening...nice time up in "The Hill" tonight!!
