Wally Waddle Race Report

May 22nd, 2011

Posted by Josh Perks

Despite a morning downpour, the 2011 Wa Wa Wally Waddle at Vassar Farm had a strong turnout with over 150 registered participants. The rain stopped in plenty of time to make for lovely running conditions. Male and female winners from 2010, Mike Insler and Marisa Hanson, successfully defended their titles this year. Justin Jackson, age 11, was the victor in the mile, with a non-waddling time of 6:58. Around 20 happy age group and raffle winner went home with fresh-baked pies to celebrate the day.

The race and the pie prizes are a lot of fun, but the ultimate goal of the Wa Wa Wally Waddle is to raise money for scholarships to YMCA Camp Wa Wa Segowea. This year, we raised enough money to send 6 local children to spend a week playing in the woods, swimming in a lake, and building confidence through cooperative outdoor activities. We are grateful to our generous sponsors for their help in making these life-changing opportunities possible: Finnish Solutions Construction, Mid-Hudson Road Runners Club, Morris Associates Engineering Consultants, Nick Stoner Inn, Soul Dog Restaurant, Tubby’s Bathroom Resurfacing, Dutchess Recreational Vehicles, Hooker Avenue Travel, Dr. Gerber and Dr. Bromley Podiatrists. We also extend a big thanks to the many race-day volunteers, the participants, and the organizers of the Saturday evening Pasta Dinner.
We hope to see even more people at race day next year! Get ready for another day of pies and photo opportunities with our big turtle mascot!
