Greater Long Island Running Club celebrates 22nd annual Ocean to Sound Relay
The 22nd anniversary 50-mile Ocean to Sound Relay from Jones Beach to Oyster Bay marked another successful day for local runners. The heat and humidity made it tough going, but almost everybody made it to the finish for the post-race party at Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park in Oyster Bay.
Top honors of the day went to the Sayville Running Company, who ended the three-year reign of the Bellmore Striders, in what was the closest finish for first place in the history of the event. Sayville crossed the finish line in 4:45:05, a scant 51 seconds in front of Bellmore after a 50- mile journey. On a more local note, two teams representing the Massapequa Road Runners competed in the event, and did well, scoring third and fourth respectively in the Coed Masters Division, with combined times of 7:37:17 and 7:41:36 respectively. Next year's Ocean to Sound 50-Mile Relay will be held Sunday, September 14, 2008.
