The USATF-CT Grand Prix 4-mile championship (AKA Mohegan Striders@Sneekers) was held on Sunday, Aug 18, under rain-threatening skies and not-as-horrid-as-it-could-have-been temps. Sneekers hosted the race, opening up their back parking lot for registration and awards and their restaurant for the hungry and thirsty runners. Fun times and fast times abounded. Numbers were down this year over 2023, unfortunately:
201 registered (10 on race day)
178 finished
11 Strider men scored and took 2nd in all divisions
9 Strider women scored: Women Senior 1st, Women Grandmaster 1st, Women Master 3rd, Women Open 4th
65 participants received a Club Membership discount (WTAC or Striders)
The race committee will be holding an After Action meeting in early September and are open to any and all feedback (the good, the bad and the ugly). No guarantees that all suggestions will be implemented (the start time won’t change — sorry — as it benefits our sponsor) but we will review. Send your feedback to kshort@snet.net
