Perfect day at Chicopee for monumental performances
Last year, Chicopee had heartbreak in store for Robyn Collins. Crushing the 2018 ENDURrun, even a small setback (+5 min split from fastest to slowest lap) allowed Valery Hobson to drop the hammer and take a lead she would not relinquish. This year, Robyn ran a consistent and controlled race and cleared a major obstacle… Read more »

Stage 1 is as close to a family reunion as we have, with many people who were unable to attend the pre-race meeting… Read more »
