The Race is On: 350 Run in 15K and 4 Mile Runs on April 11

Almost 350 runners participated in Scarsdale’s annual 15K and 4 mile runs on Sunday April 11 both starting on Brewster Road in front of Scarsdale High School and circling through Fox Meadow and Greenacres. Fortunately the rain held off until the run could be completed.

Seven chose the “virtual run” option and submitted their own times to avoid running in a crowd.

The event is a big undertaking for the Village and according to Brian Gray of the Recreation Department, "This run is an all hands on deck program which requires all Department of Parks Recreation and Conservation staff to put on successfully. We also could not put the program on without assistance from the Department of Public Works, Scarsdale Police department, Scarsdale Fire Department, and Scarsdale Volunteer Ambulance Corp."

The event drew runners from preteens to those 80 plus and there were winners in many categories.

The male winners of the 4 mile run was John Flannery who completed the course in 19:39, followed by Tyler Sipprelle who placed second at 25:24.

The female winners of the 4 mile run were Christine Lee at 27:48 and Lizzie Hurshman at 28:32.

For the 15 K run, the overall men’s winners were Sean Luzzi at 50:31 and Jake Colman at 53:02.

The overall women’s winners were Betsy Eickelberg at 56:39 and Erin Gunther at 1:06:33
