Roadkill Racing: Beer + Glory

Based in Rochester, NY, RKR was founded in 2009. We are a part of @usatfniagara. Will run for Beer and Glory!
He’s baaaaaaack! After an extended hiatus from He’s baaaaaaack! 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. For his first race in a Roadkill uniform, Doc Mike scored first place in his age group. Welcome to the team, Doc Mike! We’re so excited to have you join us! #roadkillracing #rochesterrunning #raceday #beatcancer #scarebraincanceraway5k #racedayready #cancersurvivor #rochesterrunner
Congratulations to our women’s open team for sna Congratulations to our women’s open team for snagging first place at the Oak Tree 5K. The original photo above was a bit heavy on the shadows, so we included an edited version with the shadows removed. You’re welcome. ☺️😜 #roadkillracing #usatfniagara #oaktree5k #womenrunning #womenrunners #fastwomen #womenteam
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 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. All racing photos are courtesy of @dianesardes. 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! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 #roadkillracing #raceday #buffalony #usatf #racedayready #usatfniagara #4mile #4miles #roadracing #flamingo #flamingos
Yep… We recruited the mountain lion just in tim 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. 🐆 @rochestermountainlion #mountainlion #mountainlions #rochester #rochesterny #rochestermountainlion #bigcat #bigcats #rochesterrunning #running
With @swain_mountain_race fast approaching, let’ 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.   For more information, as well as a registration link, head over to @robinhoodraces. #roadkillracing #rochesterrunning #raceday #swain #swainmountainrace #mountainrace #hillspaythebills #trailrunner #grimreaper #usatf #mountainrun #racedayready #hill #hillrunning #trailrunning #trails #horrorreels
Finally, here’s the wrap-up of Summer Speed Fest 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. #roadkillracing #rochesterrunning #raceday #teamwork #track #trackmeet #trackandfield #mile #5k

In a few short weeks, the Roadkill Racing Men’s 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… #roadkillracing #mastersteam #oldman #oldmen #itsnotfair #secretweapon #fastafter40 #masters #mastersdivision #rochesterrunning #betterwithage
This morning, several dads embarked on a Roadkill This morning, several dads embarked on a Roadkill group long run from Ginegaw Park in Walworth. When they returned to the parking lot, their wives and kiddos were waiting to surprise them with a post-run breakfast. Happy Father’s Day to all the running dads out there! #happyfathersday2025 #fathers #fathersday #runningdads #runningfathers #dad #worldsbestdad
What’s this??? A giant, peeling sunburn scab??? 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. #speedwork #speedworkout #zombieapocalypse #trackwork #trackworkout #fairport #fairportny #
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. 😉🙌👶🏻 #family #familyrun #family5k #babysfirst5k #familyfirst #familyrace

2025 Mountain Goat Recap: Time to recognize all o 2025 Mountain Goat Recap: Time to recognize all of the team members who represented Roadkill Racing at last week’s @mountain_goat_run. All of you were tough and ran extremely well on one of the most challenging courses around. In addition to your strong individual performances, we performed extremely well on the team level… the highlight being our Open Ladies, who captured a first place finish. Speaking of “team”… While team scoring is obviously divided into 4 different categories based on gender and age, that doesn’t stop us all from working together in races. A quick glance at the overall results shows seven Roadkill members snagging finishes between 32nd to 46th place, within minutes of each other… Trisha (Masters Ladies), Laura and Inga (Open Ladies), Jack, Luke, and Jonathan (Open Men), and Pete (Masters Men). Even though we may all be scoring for different categories, it’s nice to see so many working together and feeding off each other’s energy during these races. Well done, All!!! #roadkillracing #raceday #rochesterrunning #hillspaythebills #mountaingoat #10mile #usatf #mountaingoatrun #teamrunners #teamwork #runningreels #kinggeorge
Next up for Roadkill in the @usatfniagara series i Next up for Roadkill in the @usatfniagara series is the @mountain_goat_run, a 10-mile race ascending two of the most challenging road climbs Syracuse has to offer.  We love this event for a multitude of reasons, the most obvious being that conquering hills on the roads automatically makes you BADASS. In addition, the route has been thoughtfully laid out to give participants a tour of some of the best parks and green space within city limits.  Add in frenzied spectator support and a killer afterparty, and you’ve got one of the best running events in the region.   On the team front, Roadkill veterans @rkrmatt and @kennygoodfellow have been fiercely training for this year’s edition.  Some have even expressed concern that the Roadkill stalwarts have taken their training tactics to the extreme, in a manner that is highly questionable.  However, rest assured that the Oreamnos americanus species reassignment surgery, while experimental, is only temporary and should wear off by Labor Day… great news for their families and loved ones.   In the meantime, good luck to all runners and participants!  And remember to clean up after your mountain goat. #roadkillracing #mountaingoat #mountaingoatrun #mountaingoats #usatf #10mile #raceday #hillrunning #hillspaythebills #teamrunning #teamrunners #rochesterrunning
While Roadkill Racing is obviously a team centered While Roadkill Racing is obviously a team centered around running, we place just as much emphasis on family when it comes to participating in USATF events and team gatherings, where all spouses, partners, kids, and even furry friends (venue permitting) are welcome!  With that in mind, we’d like to take a moment to recognize the accomplishments of the Simning family this past weekend at the Flower City Half Marathon.   Many of you know @ingasimning from her recent success at setting multiple push-up and pull-up world records.  Since joining Roadkill and training regularly with the team, not only has Inga shaved seconds and even minutes off several of her own PRs, she and her husband Adam have inspired both of their daughters to lace up their trainers and join them on the run.  That inspiration was on full display this past Sunday, as all four Simnings conquered the Flower City course, battling 20mph headwinds along certain stretches.  Inga and daughter Mira were first across the line in 2:04:44, with Adam and daughter Raiya not far behind in 2:13:08.   Well done, Mira and Raiya!  We can’t wait to see what challenges you decide to tackle next!  And Kudos to Inga and Adam for encouraging their girls to big dreams! #flowercityhalfmarathon #familyrace #roadkillracing #familytime #family #halfmarathon #flowercity #familyrunners #familyrunning
Introducing the 2025 Roadkill Racing Boston Marath Introducing the 2025 Roadkill Racing Boston Marathon team. For this year’s edition, a mix of Boston first-timers and seasoned veterans will be toeing the starting line in Hopkinton. Congratulations to Kraig Connor, Cami Cortez, and Jordan Brouk for making their inaugural trip to Boston! Joining the Beantown virgins are AJ Hameline, who’s running his third Boston Marathon, as well as perennial veteran Tim Dwyer, who’s run Boston every year since King John singed the Magna Carta in 1215. Current weather predictions include a low of 40 degrees overnight Sunday, with a high of 58 degrees on Marathon Monday. Let’s hope the “sun and clouds mixed” forecast leans toward the cloudy side. Good luck, @kraigruns, @camryn.cortez, @_jordan_river, @ajham4, and @dwyer2012 … Have fun out there! #roadkillracing #bostonmarathon #bostonstrong #marathonmonday #patriotsday #rochesterrunning #raceday #racedayready
