Greetings!
 The 2013 Fleet Feet 15K-Run into Buffalo is in the books. The race drew 600 runners to the streets of Buffalo starting at Canalside, running up Delaware Avenue and heading back to the finish line in downtown. The weather reports in the week before the race threatened everything from thunderstorms to heat and humidity.
For the dozens of volunteers checking in early that morning, light showers and low gray clouds greeted them. For the 600 runners taking off a 15K run, sun, thick air and humidity challenged them. The weather conditions definitely made for some slower times in the 7th running of the Fleet Feet 15K.
The overall winners in the Open Men's Race had #1 from Syracuse - C. Fred Joslyn with a time of 48:22 and #2 from Pennsylvania - Colin Leak with a time of 49:42. The 3rd Overall Male was from Buffalo - Chris Walters in a duel with #2 finishing in 49:44. The overall winners in the Open women's Race also had #1 from the Syracuse area - Laurel Leone in 56:11, 12th overall in the race. The 2nd and 3rd Overall Female finishers were from Western New York - Jennifer Boerner in 1:00:47 and Kaila Proulx in 1:02:22.
The Fleet Feet 15K did not host the USATF Masters Championship in 2013 yet we still had great running in the Masters Category. The Male division was lead by Marc Andrews of Rochester in 52:53 and 5th overall followed by 2 WNY runners - Jim Park in 54:39 and Peter Osmond in 55:51. The Womens Masters field had local runners in #1 - Patricia Hilbert in 1:06:30 and Liz Randell in 1:07:14 with Rebecca Duberry of Rochester taking 3rd in 1:08:14.
 Overall a great race with positive feedback from the runners. Thanks go out to all the volunteers who came out to support the Fleet Feet 15K-Run into Buffalo. The young runners from cross-country teams across WNY to members of the running community and others committed to youth fitness - your help on race day makes this event great. Thanks to our sponsors - Brooks Running, Wegmans and the Buffalo Niagara Sports Commission and our product sponsors - Fat Bob's Smokehouse, Fluid Hydration, Once Again Nut Butters and the Diocese of Buffalo and Kissling Interests for providing the on-course water.
 The runners, the volunteer, our sponsors all influence SOS - Shoes on Students, our not-for-profit initiative to provide new Brooks training shoes to high school runners of need in our community. From this year's race, we expect to provide 300 new pairs of training shoes - influencing the lives of young athletes. Again, a BIG Thank YOU!!!
Watch for photos from our shoe distribution over the next few weeks. |

Not a beginner, but not quite ready for a half marathon? Finally ready to break your record at the Turkey Trot? Graduated No Boundaries and aren't sure what's next?
Join Fleet Feet Momentum!
This group is for those runners who can run a 5k comfortably and are ready to race the 8K Turkey Trot. This is the next step beyond the No Boundaries program for those looking to progress to the next level. There are no mentors in this group, nor is there a run/walk option. If you are still at the run/walk level we recommend you complete the No Boundaries program again with the run group before moving on to this group. This group is straight running from the get go! Come motivated to carry the MOMENTUM through the finish line!
Not sure if this is the right program for you? Ask us!
