Roadkill Racing: Beer + Glory

roadkillracing_

Based in Rochester, NY, RKR was founded in 2009. We are a part of @usatfniagara. Will run for Beer and Glory!

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!!!

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.

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!

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!
