Pub Series

Ok ladies and gentlemen, the 2008 NER Pub Series is off and running. After 2 events there are 110 runners who have done both races. Thanks to all those who made the trek to West Yarmouth, braving less than ideal conditions once again at the Irish Village 5M. The next …

Hello, a sea shift in standings following another outing in Hurricane Gulch. 2005 Pub Queen Mimi Fallon enjoyed the aqua vista by her lonesome while the rest of the pack reshuffled. Let it be pointed out that not 1, not 2, but a full 3 members of the awe-inspiring Cape …

Mr. Ruane Crummet, a gentleman of 70 and scorer in the Pub Series 70-79 division at Doyle’s and the Corrib, won the first Reebok shoe contest with an estimated guess of 29:40 and an actual time of 29:42. “A lucky guess,” noted Crummet, a former training mate of CSU Hall …
