Almost 500 Runners Participate in 53rd Annual Race in Scarsdale

Chen Zou took first in Scarsdale in the women's 15KAlmost 500 runners streamed through the streets of Fox Meadow and Greenacres on Sunday March 26 for Scarsdale’s 53rd annual 15K and 4 mile runs. The sunny but cool day was excellent for athletes from Scarsdale, the tri-county area and as far away as California to compete. Roads were blocked off to drivers by police giving the competitors freedom to run.

The well-orchestrated event was a concerted effort by the Scarsdale Recreation Department, the Department of Public Works, Engineering Department, the Fire and Police Departments, volunteers from Lions Heart and the Scarsdale Village Ambulance Corps. As Con Edison has torn up portions of Greenacres Avenue for the installation of a gas line, workers from Scarsdale had to ensure that potholes were filled and streets swept to make the racecourse safe for the runners. The fire department brought their ladder truck to the high school and hung an American Flag at the finish of the race.

According to Recreation Supervisor Brian Gray, there were a total of 552 registrants with 482 checking in on race day. Volunteers from Lions Heart were stationed along the route to cheer the runners on, and members of the fire department manned water stations on the road.
Shangyuan Luo placed first among Scarsdale residents in the men's 15K

Chen Zou reported, "The Wind Runners Group has about 50 runners who participated in the Scarsdale 4m/15k race this year, including a number of whole families. For example, all the members of the Wang, Jianlong family(grandma, husband, wife, daughter and son) participated and all got their awards in their respective age groups. We also set up our water station at the intersection of Brite Ave and Fenimore Rd, about 10 volunteers helped serve water and sports drinks to all runners."

Here are the results of the race – showing winners from Scarsdale and nationwide. Thank you to Sue Oricchio and Brian Gray at the Scarsdale Recreation Department.
