Team Galloway Long Island set EventPower LI's Riverhead Rocks as a "suggested" race for 2019. The timing was perfect. We scheduled the Bridgehampton Half Marathon in May as our goal race, so getting in the 10 miles at the end of March worked out well for us. Four of the...
Galloway Runners Aren’t Slow…
As I participate in more of these races, I realize that most people are using a variation of the run/walk/run method developed by Jeff Galloway. When I first learned about the method, I thought only slow runners were interested in it. But as I am learning, I see that many very fast...

Beauty & the Beast Triathlon on St. Croix is known to be one of the toughest triathlons out there. Quassy, the beast of the east, which is now called Connecticut 70.3, may come close, but after talking with some of the folks that did Beauty & the Beast, they say...

If you've been following me, you know I love expos. That's why I organized one in 2016 in NYC, the NY TRI Expo. So, when there's an expo, I want to spend the time exploring, especially at the San Jose Rock 'n Roll Marathon Expo. First off, for an expo,...
Hamptons Half Marathon Review
A couple of weeks ago, seven members (Didi, Dawn, Rebecca, Colleen, Laura, Ray and Jon) of Team Galloway Long Island and I attended the Hamptons Half Marathon on Long Island. We had been training for this event for months and since Southampton was far for most of us, the six...
Stepping Stone Lighthouse Race Review
The entire EventPower LI team do such a great job organizing incredible races. They never cease to amaze me! The 2nd year Stepping Stone Lighthouse 5K Run was no different. This was one of the best races I ran on Long Island in a long time! The setting was magnificent...
