Congrats are in order!

Congratulations to several Team R.E.D. members for being recognized for their contributions!  All very much deserved!

The Rochester Track Club honored Gwen Jacobson with the Runner of the Year Award! - As you may know, Gwen is pursing her goal of Marathons in all 50 States, but that's not all, she's tackling them at sub-four hours as well!  In addition, Gwen volunteers and supports some many others within the running community.
