Boston. New York. London. The Roxbury Bill Burley Mid Summer Championship. For certain events one must pull out all the stops and July 16th's event was no exception. This race had everything: a disc jockey (thank you Rob), the Star Spangled Banner (thank you Amber Cardinal), a Hall of Fame induction ceremony (congrats David DeBoy, Kerry Cardinal and Steve Johnson), a five dollar entry fee, two water stations (was that Elvis at the second one?), a Prefontaine t-shirt and last but not least, bandanas. When a runner wears sunglasses, knee tape and a bandana, you can know that he is playing for keeps... and that nothing can embarrass him.

Congratulations to our winners, Craig Hunt and Shaina Short, who captured male and female laurels. Craig covered the challenging course at a pace of 5:49 and was chased by two other sub six minute finishers including his brother. Shaina is making her mark on Roxbury with three consecutive wins. Farther back we had some individual battles. Did Jeff have the ability to break a seven minute pace? Yes, with a 6:60 average. Did Nate have enough in the tank to overtake Larry at the finish? No. Did Krystal have enough to beat Paul? Do we need to ask?

For runners new to Roxbury, welcome! Feel free to tag along for a warm up or cool down run with any one of the groups and to join people afterwards at the Roxbury Market for breakfast.
