UPDATED RESULTS-RPS Thanksgiving Races Nov. 24, 2016
Please see the Updated Official Race Report for the Riis Park Striders 46th Annual Thanksgiving Day Race Results (3 pages).
"The clear course saw a record number of finishers in the 1 mile race. The Red Panda Raiders again came out en masse and won a lot of ribbons. Thanks once again to Judith Ragusca, mother of Joe Mittel, for donating prizes for the winners. This is the 20th year she has done so in memory of her son and Riis Park Strider legend."
"The Riis Park A team finally recaptured 1st place after a long absence. Both the Riis Park B and the Don Amidei TC failed to score as both 5th place finishers dropped out. Dustin Puckett was the only representative to run this year from the once mighty Hawk TC. Bob Gagne again hosted a post game brunch at which many stories were told (some true) of races and runners from decades past."
"Dues is $20 a year for a t-shirt and free registration to all Riis Park Strider races."
"The Riis Park Striders hope to see everyone again next year (as well as at our weekly Saturday runs at the park) and hoping for better times and weather in 2017."
"Much thanks to all who made this happen---Peter Block (finish chute), Mike Vlasak (course marking and registration), Ken Dietz (registration), Bill Kearns (finish line), Renee Phillips and Paul Hendrickson (registration and results), Pat Savage (mile splits), Karen Davis (photos) and of course to Chris Precht for keeping the tradition alive for yet another year."
"Thanks to all who donated food for the hungry and to the staff at Riis Park for opening the field house for us."
"The Riis Park Striders will be holding the 1st Annual Mike Bastian 6 Mile Memorial Run on Dec 17th. Mike is a long time Strider and area running legend who recently pass away. T-shirts will be awarded to all 6 mile finishers."
