GMAA’s Pump It Up! is One for the Records! On May 9, three loose ponies wandered onto the course just as the men’s leader came into the final stretch of the 5 mile race in Jericho/Essex. What followed was a finish line moment nobody will forget: competition, chaos, and pure Vermont charm all in the same frame. Men’s winner Neal Graves held strong through the final corner to take the win in 29:11 and the women’s winner, Heather Feldman, followed behind in 31:30.

And then there was the deeper story of the day. Three athletes over the age of 80 took on the full five-mile course and finished with grit and determination that defined the event.
Ted McKnight, 81: 51:02
Bob Murphy, 86: 1:00:47
Peter Mitchell, 86: 1:07:02

Held under clear May skies, there were 73 runners in this year’s facc!!

In our May athlete profile, we meet Greg Durso, an accomplished adaptive athlete working to expand trail systems and sports opportunities for those with spinal cord injuries. Aside from being an athlete himself, having competed in Ironmans and marathons, he helps to build trails that aren’t just “adaptive-friendly”, but that are “adaptive-optimized”, where both adaptive and able-bodied riders can enjoy riding and be challenged by adrenaline-pumping trails. The Driving Range in Bolton is the best example of this and the energetic local community.

Learn more about Greg and all that he does in the May issue of Vermont Sports, at the 🔗 below or in our bio.
