In 2018, the Harrington Park 5K, that is taking place tomorrow, Saturday, November 2nd, was a USATF state masters women championship. The race was won by Rob Albano in a pokey 15:52. I can bust on Albano because he is now running in the low to mid 14’s. Karen Auteri finished in 18:25 in 2018…

Albano does it again!
Sometimes you don’t need a big race to get a huge performance. The Lincoln Park Beavertown 5K on Saturday had only 152 finishers. But the race had Rob Albano of Mahwah who continued to rack up PR’s with his 14:26.29 finish. Albano was over three minutes ahead of second place. If Richard Luettchau of…
Add another
Well, I’m two for two now. I missed the Paramus 10K that is this Sunday. That makes two Category Two races this weekend. Let me know if I missed any others. Sorry for the errors – a little rusty after my break.
ALERT! A Five miler is tomorrow, Saturday, October 19
In the column that I just put up, I said that the only Category Two race left in the NBGP is the Westfield Five mile on November 30. Wrong! The Up, Up and Away has both a 5K and a 5 mile. The three runners that I mentioned in the column could go to Blairstown….

RESULTS, RESULTS, RESULTS The USATF-NJ New Balance Grand Prix update was posted on Thursday, October 17th. John Hogan of the Township of Washington, leads in the men’s division.

Albano’s secret to fast times
How many people can say that they’ve kept their New Year’s Resolution by the middle of June? Not many. One who has and can point to his breakthrough to running PR’s at age 28 is Rob Albano of Mahwah. “I was eating KFC and Taco Bell for five years,” said Albano. “I gave up fast…
More Course Records and one Awesome PB
This might just be the year of the course records. As you read here a few weeks back that Nora Cary, W60, Suzanne LaBurt, W55 and Roberta Groner, W40 all set new age division course records at the Ridgewood Run 5K on Monday, May 27th. Or maybe it’s that Monday races have more speed. At…
Course records fall at the Ridgewood Run
Course records fall at the Ridgewood Run The North Jersey Masters running club will be sending out a little extra cash to their Ridgewood Run competitors after three women set age division course records this past Monday. Nora Cary of Morristown took down Toshiko D’elia’s W60 record of 44:47 with her 44:18. That time put…
President’s Cup 5K Run
The President’s Cup 5K moved from a June night race to the third Sunday in May and reminiscent of when the Midland Run 15K in Far Hills that once had that Sunday, the weather turned from cool to hot in a shake of sneaker. Millburn was at 85 degrees according to some, at 4:00…
