A (Star Spangled) Banner Race

Saturday was the scene of a terrific outing in Carlisle's Great Brook State Park, as an incredibly competitive field took to the trails for the 8th Annual Thomas Chamberas 6K XC race. With all benefits going toward the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, it was a spectacular cause and a picture-perfect weather day.

Lots and lots of elite runners turned out for this one, including the First Place Team from last week's Moose Relay in Nashua, N.H.

Needless to say, the E-Streeters were more than well represented at this one. Here's some pics from on the course, courtesy of http://www.jimrhoades.com/ along with a spattering of shots from the cameras of Jill Kenny, Lyndsay Scanlon and their teams of trailside cheerleaders.

And of course, there were the bombards bursting in the air. Tommy, you lost the bet. You didn't even make it past the opening line.
