Quicksilver Striders heading to JA!

It was cold and windy in New York for Sunday’s New York Marathon.  Congratulations to all who braved the conditions.  For us at Reggae Marathon it was a great weekend at the Marathon Expo.  We met a lot of old friends and made some new ones who will be coming to Negril in a few weeks for Reggae Marathon.  From Larry Savitch of Easy Skankin to Lisa Laws and Reggae Runnerz to Rohan Dawes and Quicksilver Striders…thanks for spending time with us;  we look forward to seeing you all in a few weeks for Reggae Marathon 2014.

Reggae Marathon always enjoys hosting running groups.  Rohan Dawes of Quicksilver Striders convinced a number of runners in his running club to join him in Negril again this year.  Based in Jamaica, Queens but with members from all over the Greater New York Metropolitan area, here’s who the Quicksilver Striders are and why they run:

Quicksilver Striders (QSS) is a USATF (#06-1216) running club located in Queens, New York. QSS was founded in 2012 by individuals who are passionate about running as a recreational and competitive sport. This young running club that holds the enviable distinction of being one of the most diverse clubs under the New York Road Runners (NYRR) umbrella.
