We don’t have any Spotifies… wrapped or unwrapped.  Nor do we care.

Instead, we have this kick ass collection of finish line photos from our very own Laura Galeazzo… aka @losingrace …  Congratulations, Laura, on a killer 2025!

With the holidays in full force, the temptation to With the holidays in full force, the temptation to overindulge in festive sweets and goodies lurks around every corner, threatening to highjack our spoons, forks, and any remaining common sense that 17% of us may still possess by this point of the calendar year.

But don’t fret, Friends… for the Roadkill Racing Nutritional Sciences Division has got you covered with thoughtful, creative ideas to turn even the most deadly holiday dessert into a nutrient-packed boon for runners looking to maintain their edge.

So grab your spoons, and get ready to stuff your faces guilt-free!

A huge congratulations to speed demon Aaron Nobles A huge congratulations to speed demon Aaron Nobles from our men’s open team for making the cover November’s edition of “Bonehead Dad” Magazine!  This issue’s cover story offers an exclusive, in-depth look at Aaron’s 4th place finish at last month’s Scare Brain Cancer Away 5K in East Rochester.  While the issue doesn’t hit newsstands for another week, hi-res scans of the article are available in the post above.

A huge kudos, Aaron, from all your Roadkill teammates on a job well done! 😊

After an extended hiatus from running to beat the hell out of cancer, Dr. Michael Reinhardt, one of Rochester’s most beloved sports rehab specialists, returned to the roads this past weekend at the Scare Brain Cancer Away 5K.

Congratulations to Roadkill racers Laura Galeazzo, Congratulations to Roadkill racers Laura Galeazzo, Inga Simning, and Dave Presby for taking three of the top four places in yesterday’s Black Diamond Express Half Marathon on the Lehigh Valley Trail in Mendon.  Laura withstood a late charge from the second-place finisher and scored the overall win in 1:26:08.  Meanwhile, Inga took third overall in 1:28:06, and Dave took fourth overall and first male in 1:29:50.  Despite the hideous dew point and brutal humidity, all three performed valiantly and were satisfied with their performances, given the conditions.  All three also noted how much they’re looking forward to cooler running conditions for the upcoming Fall racing season.

A recap of last week’s @thequeencitymile for all y A recap of last week’s @thequeencitymile for all you Roadkill faithful… because the people demand it. 😑🤨

All still photos used above are courtesy of @dianesardes. Thank you so much, Diane, for the time and effort you spend taking wonderful pictures of all the runners.

Racing a mile is never a picnic, but our spies were out amongst the masses with ears open for feedback; the consensus was that this was an absolutely phenomenally-organized event from start to finish.  Aside from the flat, fast course on the open roads being a refreshing change from 4 laps on a track, packet/number pickup was a breeze, the cotton tank giveaway was retro cool, and the generous sponsorship and close proximity to @resurgencebrewingco allowed everyone to gather and celebrate in an excellent setting well after all runners had crossed the finish line.

What a great night!  Let’s do this again next year!
And now, please enjoy this compilation of your Roa And now, please enjoy this compilation of your Roadkill Racers in action at last Friday’s Subaru 4-Mile Chase in Buffalo.

As always, thank you so much, Diane, for working so hard to capture and share photos of as many runners as possible during all of these local events! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Yep… We recruited the mountain lion just in time Yep…  We recruited the mountain lion just in time for some key summer races.  In the next few weeks, a team of feline veterinarians from Cornell will be working around the clock to help us determine whether said lion will be running for our men or women’s team, as well as whether or not the Master’s Divisions may benefit.

Stay tuned for further details. 🐆

With @swain_mountain_race fast approaching, let’s With @swain_mountain_race fast approaching, let’s look back at some of your Roadkill teammates in action during last year’s edition.  For those accustomed to roads, Swain serves as a brutal gut check, leading many to question their life choices as early as halfway up the grueling first climb.  However, the exhilaration felt from crossing the finish line after tumbling down that final descent is well worth the three months of therapy to follow.
 
A very special thanks to Ron Heerkens, Jr. of @gfmedia, who gave us permission to use his beautiful photography in such ‘Nightmare on Elm Street’ fashion.  All images Copyright©️2025 Goat Factory Media.  Also, please note that none of the photos here have been enhanced or touched up in any way, nor have any wacky or ridiculous filters been applied.  If you crave pictures of Aaron Nobles, Ashlie Roberts, and other Roadkill favorites with Taylor Swift/Bigfoot/goiter mascara filters, please look elsewhere.

Finally, here’s the wrap-up of Summer Speed Fest f Finally, here’s the wrap-up of Summer Speed Fest from just over a week ago.  Yes, yes, we know…  The 3K Championship was yesterday, and Summer Speed Fest was SOOOOOOOOO NINE DAYS AGO… Like, Oh Em GEEEEEEE!!! 😱😱😱

Patience, Fools!  We can’t just crank out these witty, juvenile reels in minutes.

Anyways, all of your Roadkill faithful who made it out to the meet had an absolute blast competing with friends old and new, and there were several standout performances highlighted in the chaos you’ve witnessed onscreen.  Finally, cheers to @carlyg__dpt of @ontrack_physicaltherapy for putting on a fantastic inaugural edition and making it FUN!  Hopefully, this event will grow and attract even more runners in the future.

In a few short weeks, the Roadkill Racing Men’s Ma In a few short weeks, the Roadkill Racing Men’s Masters team gets a HUUUUUUUUGE boost… the proverbial “shot in the arm”, so to speak… if the goal is to speak in terms that are horribly cliché.  So huge, that it’s not even fair.  In fact, one may go so far as to deem it… “UN”fair!? 😂😂😐

Stay tuned…

What’s this??? A giant, peeling sunburn scab??? Ha What’s this??? A giant, peeling sunburn scab??? Has the apocalypse finally arrived???

Why, no.  It’s just the final stretch of lane 3 at Fairport’s all-weather track.  Word has been floating around for the past several years that the archaic 6-lane track was due for an upgrade.  Looks like it’s finally about to happen.

Either that, or giant, track-eating zombie bunnies escaped from Stinky Farm just down the road across from the Perinton Rec Center and went to town.

Regardless, lane 1 was still mostly intact as of this morning, but those of you who run your speedwork regularly at Fairport High School may need to find alternate arrangements for the foreseeable future.

Sometimes running is about racking up the miles, h Sometimes running is about racking up the miles, hitting the track 2-3x a week, and grinding hard to reach that elusive PR.  But there are times in life when it’s just about showing up with no expectations, seeing what you can do, and treasuring every step.

Aaron, Alexi, and Molly… Your Roadkill Racing family wishes you a great big congratulations on your first 5K all together as a three-human unit!  Be careful… She might catch up and outrun you both someday. 😉🙌👶🏻
