Rain threatened and at times paid a visit, but did absolutely nothing to dampen the spirit and enthusiasm of the 70 plus participants in the 11th annual NICK BOTTONE TRACK MILE. Runners from as far as Nova Scotia showed up to test their mettle at one of running's most fabled distances, quite befitting as the sport marks the 50th anniversary of Sir Roger Bannister's famous run on May 6th, 1954 (3.59.4). The event is presented by the Westerly Track & Athletic Club as part of the TOM McCOY FAMILY FUN RUN SERIES.
