Ultra-marathoner runs length of New Jersey in 44 and 1/2 hours
Please no one say Cole Crosby fell short. Since no one ever ran the length of New Jersey before with a time record in mind, there’s really no basis for comparison. He only fell short, a little, of his own heart and grit, and not by much.
The ultra-marathoner set out to make the run from High Point to Cape May in 40 hours. He did it in 44 1/2. I wrote about Cole on Friday and how he was trying to bring some good to fellow runners by hoping to raise $1,000 for the Road Runners Club of America. He raised over 4 times that. And in a run that started at 2 in the morning on Saturday and went on through the next night and day and ended at 10:30 pm Sunday night, he had many well-wishers and encouragement along the way.
