Hairy Gorilla Half

A small contingent of Gunkers and FOGs made their way north for the wild and wooly Hairy Gorilla Half Marathon, a trail race/cookout/costume party. The race is the brainchild of Josh Merlis of the Albany Running Exchange, which basically guarantees it will be more fun than should be allowed in civilized society. Robert Muller and Charlie Gadol led the locals, placing 24th and 25th, respectively, in a field of over 200 runners. Charlie was able to nab first place in the 50-59 age group with his 1:38:25, just 9 seconds behind Robert.


FOGs:
44. John Holt 1:49:06
92. Doug Freese 2:06:46 (second, 60-69)
94. Jimmy Buff 2:07:21
