CHILLICOTHE Though they race in teams of 10, Buck Fifty runners complete their routes alone. That is, everyone except for a Pickerington teacher who crossed his finish line with a parade of four-legged friends in tow.
The April 16 race was Adam Salberg s second time competing in the 150-mile relay race, but his team Shenanigans in the VansAgain was determined to place competitively. He was running leg 24 of the race, one of the hilliest sections, and was focused on going as fast as possible. I crossed the road, and there was a volunteer who asked for my bib number. I looked up and there were four puppies at the top of the next hill, Salberg recalled. The volunteer yelled that the pups were friendly and there was no need to worry.
