GBTC Runners to Attack Upton and Cohasset roads

Hot off her 10,000 meter personal record Emily Raymond may challenge both the men's and women's fields in the Upton, MA 15 km on Saturday March 31 on a hilly rural course one town west of where her marathon will start on Patriots Day. Scientists associate a time like Raymond's PR of just under 35 minutes with a 53 minute 15 km. Last year Matt Hyde won the Upton race in a few seconds under 53 minutes. It has happened, but rarely, that a woman has won an open road race. She won the women's last year in 60+ minutes.

On Sunday, April 1, in Cohasset, MA on the south shore Kit Wells and Katie Fobert will race to win. Last year Wells took second in 33:12 to finish just ahead of David Bedoya.
