Hail to 12 Maryland language scientists, plus their crew, who
won bronze in their division of the
Ragnar Relay, out of 97 teams, running 207 miles in 29 hours, 2 minutes and 49 seconds. The team was 14th out of 315 overall.
The relay stretched over an epic 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," ending ultimately in D.C. at
Yards Park near the Navy Yards on the banks of the
Anacostia.
An inspiring feat by runners
