RUNNING EVENT IN GASPORT ON MEMORIAL DAY

Today's Running Notebook blog on the Buffalo News website reports on an interesting running event that will take place in Gasport on Monday...

Dire Straits once recorded a song called "Telegraph Road" that lasts 14 minutes and 18 seconds. In Monday's race, all runners will be asked to have some sort of music-playing device (iPod, mp3) with that song downloaded. Everyone hits play and then takes off down Telegraph Road in Gasport, with a turnaround at Route 31. When the music stopped, musical chairs style, the person who covered the longest distance wins.
