Milk Run 10K

Boston, Massachusetts

April 21, 1985
The Milk Run 10K was founded by Boston-area race director (and founder of New England Runner magazine) John McGrath. The Milk Run was one of Boston's premiere 10K races throughout the 1980's. On this day in 1985, Bob Clifford and I were running just because it was the thing to do, not because we felt like racing, since we had both run the Boston Marathon 5 days earlier (both finishing in the top 100). Here, we were just a one-block finishing stretch away from our 34:44 finish.
