Race for the Cure

Race for the Cure has been a SERV tradition since the early days of Olin, consistently drawing faculty, staff, and alumni to walk or run alongside scores of Olin students. This year was another great one, as Olin once again won the award for largest non-corporate team with 118 people signed up (raising a total of over $3000 for breast cancer research).

This year the race was moved from UMass Boston to Seaport Boulevard by the World Trade Center, another extremely flat, fast course, and the crowd numbered thousands of pink-clad participants. Hungry for exercise or fresh air, or maybe because they care about carbon emissions, close to ten Oliners bicycled to the race. Then Oliners shined in the 5k race itself – special kudos to Andrew Fabian, David Gaynor, and Scott Thompson, who took the top three spots in the 19-and-under age group, and to Rachel Nancollas, who led the Olin women.
