5th Annual Sri Chinmoy Inspiration Marathon, February 5, 1984

By Rupantar LaRusso author bio »
1 October

About the author:

Rupantar has been the race director of the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team since 1985, having been asked by Sri Chinmoy to serve in that capacity. As well as working on the big races the US Marathon Team organise each year - the 3100 Mile Race and the Six and 10 Day Race - he also spends a considerable amount of time archiving the Marathon Team's 40 year history on this website.

"Sri Chinmoy Marathon: 16-year-old Schiro sets record in debut." New England Running, Volume 7, Number 3, March 1984.

"Cathy Schiro, 16, of Dover, NH, lowered the junior woman's New Hampshire state marathon record and became one of the nation's youngest Olympic trials qualifiers when she won the women's division of the Sri Chinmoy Inspiration Marathon at Hampton, NH, February 5 (NB in a time of 2:45:16).

First to break the tape in an all-out personal best of 2:23:10 was Stephen Lavorgna, 26, from Portsmouth, NH, raced for 20 miles by no one except a fleet-footed red setter. Lavorgna lost his traveling companion when the pooch was called to heel by another runner at one of the intersections along the course.

Said Lavorgna, 'It's lucky he was called back or he'd have whupped me.'...

More than 200 starters ran under slightly drizzly skies in the unseasonably warm air."
