Psycho Linguists again rock Ragnar

Linguistics
Hail to 12 Maryland language scientists and alums, plus their crew, who ran the
Ragnar Relay in 28hrs 59mins 30secs on 12-13 September 2014.
The relay stretched over an epic 200-mile route from Cumberland, in the western tip of Maryland, "east through thick forest trails and scenic paths [...] through the quiet streets of many charming historic Civil War-Era towns," pausing for the now traditional petits déjeuners chez
Hornstein and
Weinberg, ending ultimately at the
National Harbor just down the Potomac from Washington DC. Each runner covered 3 of the 36 legs, covering a total of 13-22 miles. The crew began on Friday morning, then ran continuously for around 28 hours and 59 minutes and 30 seconds, running many legs at night, through early autumnal drizzles, ending around 3pm on Saturday.
An inspiring feat by runners
