Race Results

The 41st annual Scarsdale 15K and 4-mile run took place on a Sunday April 11. The race is conducted by the Scarsdale Recreation Department and co-sponsored by the Scarsdale Antiques Running Club. It is the longest running race in Westchester County, and the course winds through Greenacres and Fox Meadow. The weather was crisp and clear and runners came out in force. Free coffee was provided by Lange’s Deli. A list of the top finishers can be found below and all the results are on the village website.

Scarsdale resident Alan Lowenfels and his son Ted ran the 4 mile race, both wearing “barefoot” Vibram 5 fingers running shoes that look more like latex gloves for the feet than shoes. Lowenfels said, “I’ve run this race many times, even in the 70s with Abe Simon and the Scarsdale Antiques Running Club, but this year was a totally different experience. Not only was I joined by the next generation, my son Teddy made his debut, but we both ran in our new “barefoot” shoes… the Vibram 5 Fingers. What a great experience.... you feel the road and it's great for your body.”

Lowenfels added, “the 4-mile race starts at Scarsdale High School, heads north through Greenacres and then turns left up the Kingston hill, that always seems steeper when you're running. Then we head back through Fox Meadow. With all the trees coming into bloom and the feeling of exhilaration in my new running shoes it couldn't have been a better day. 178 runners finished the 4-mile run and 129 completed the 15K. My son Ted led in the 20-29 age group. Family and friends came to cheer at the finish line and we all felt like winners.”
