Event comments:

The iconic Manchester Road Race is THE place to be on Thanksgiving Day-enough said about that. My wife rocked it with another sub 49. Mike made his goal of sub 45 by 3 seconds and my youngest son Kyle beat me by 5 seconds to claim fastest in the family, for the first time. A great day!
