The Groton Gophers had an impressive showing at the 24th Ithaca Annual Skunk Cabbage Classic 10k and 1/2 marathon on April 2, 2006. This race is sponsored by the Fingerlakes Runners Club.

Pictured here Team Gopher included Gary Rightmire, Ray Wagner, Stephen Codner, Ron Moore, and Steve Gallow.

Rightmire and Wagner represented the Gophers in the 10k, while Codner, Moore, and Gallow took on the treacherous 1/2 marathon. Codner, Moore and Gallow all went on to complete the difficult course with personal records. David Jung also ran the 1/2 marthon. (He wasn't around when we took the photograph.)

We have begun to rethink our motto of "Starting Slow, and Taper from There." Listen to interviews on the April 3rd edition of the Podcast. You can also view the the photo's on Stephen Codner's web site.
