STR Takes on DET


Spare Tire Racing's first ever relay team will be running 26.2 miles over bridges, through a tunnel, around an island, and even to another country as they participate in the 30th running of the Detroit Marathon. Vinnie will be leading us off. After months of training, he is ready to take on the longest leg which will take him over the bridge into Canada where he will be handing off to Dave "The Tank". David will running the under water mile as he makes his way back to the states through the tunnel. Then it is the Dominator's turn. He will throw down the hammer before handing off the baton to his wife. During the fourth leg, Annette "The Boss" will run around Belle Isle. The fifth and final leg will be run by "The Canadian". Mac will be taking STR to the finish line. This will be Mac's second time crossing a Marathon finish line this month. Last weekend, he tested the limits of duck tape in Chicago during record breaking temperatures. On October, 21 come out and cheer on STR. The race starts at 7:15, we are hoping to cross the finish line by lunch time!

I may not be awake then either, and I'm leading off the race! Glad that you guys will be there to cheer us on in our DOMINATION.

STR members are ALWAYS welcome to attend and cheer on the team in any event. Race starts early - and there is a Lions game that afternoon so parking will be crazy. Looking forward to seeing any of the STR membership at the race.
