The Bangers are killing it so far this summer!!!
Jen Daley, Cassie Yeancades, and Ryan Wexler all completed the JP Morgan Corporate Challenge a couple of weeks ago. Ryan then also ran the Walkway Half Marathon just a few days later! Em Grover and Jen Daley both ran in the most recent RACE Cancer Summer Series 5k. Last weekend, Meghan Burns ran the second annual Gorges Ithaca half marathon in Ithaca, NY! Tess Harvey and Erik Hinrichsen both ran the Mount Washington Road Race, with an insane 4,000 feet of elevation gain over 7 miles. Liz Sweeting ran the Queens 10K, and Kevin Koncilja ran the Johnny Miles Marathon in Nova Scotia! And finally, Laura Duffy competed in and totally rocked the Patriot Half-Ironman, her first half-Ironman!
