In Memory

Stanley Friedlander

June 5, 1940 to May 6, 2014

We are very sad to report the passing of long-time BUS Member, Stanley Friedlander of Valley Stream. He was 73. Stanley was a widower survived by his daughter, Emily Peck and two grandchildren, Noah and Avery. He was also survived by three brothers and one sister: Gerald, Lawrence, Charles, and Susan. Stanley earned his Bachelor�s degree from the City College of New York and his PhD from New York University. He taught Mathematics at Queens College and Northwestern University. He also taught for over 25 years at Bronx Community College where he served as chairman of the Department of Mathematics. He was an accomplished marathoner and ultra marathoner and founder of the Valley Stream Running Club. He also founded and directed the Valley Stream 50-Mile from 1981-1990. Stanley was a generous BUS patron and a willing volunteer plus selflessly devoting thousands of hours to the care of others in hospice. His humor and kindness will be missed by all of us. Condolences can be send to the Friedlander Family; 77 Birch Lane; Valley Stream, NY 11581.

Ten-time finisher of the JFK 50-Mile; 4-time finisher of the NY Pioneer 100-mIle Trek; 3-time finisher of the Vermont 100-Mile Trail Run including running 29:57 at age 70 being first in his age grounp and earning nomination for "Geezerjock of the Year"; ran his best 100-mile trail run at age 66 with a 27:56 at Umstead and 4-time National Age Group Champion for 50K finishing first in his age group (70-74) four consecutive years at Caumsett.

The "weather outside (may be) frightful" but Race Director Richie wants us all to come out for the BUS Queens Fat Ass 50K. It's a "Fat-Ass" format run, but with more than usual support... and awards for everyone who finishes more that 30K... so dress warmly and join us this Saturday.

11/24/2012

Sandy, workloads, and traveling has kept this site silent for a while, but lots of ultra stuff has been going on in the background. Here's some highlights:

  • Phil McCarthy has posted preliminary plans for the 2013 edition of The Great New York 100 Mile Running Exposition on June 29th, 2013. He's also set up a website (www.tgny100.com) to keep us all posted as plans progress.
     
  • ... and Richie at the Broadway Ultra Society (BUS) has announced plans for The Queens Fat Ass 50K Run (with accompanying 30K) on Saturday, December 22nd, 2012. Stay tuned for final plans. Update (11/25/12): Click here for Registration form and full information (pdf).
     
  • Meanwhile we have been researching 2013 races for our Ultra Race Calendar. Please let us know () about any of your favorite ultras for inclusion. In the mean time, if you're looking for some local winter races, be sure to check out the NJ Trail Series 2013 schedule.
     
  • ... and of course, congratulations to all the ultra runners who completed the NYRR NYC 60K (traditionally, The Knickerbocker), and the JFK 50 MIler in this November.
     
  • Finally, Bob is doing the final checking of the 2012 NYUR Grand Prix Results. The Final results and award winners will be posted here shortly.

10/5/2012

Thanks to Glen Teitell of Freeze Frame Studio for taking pictures of EVERYONE who ran in the Staten Island 6-Hour Ultra Marathon.

We've posted them all on the NYUR Flickr site. Enjoy!
9/27/2012

Bob says thanks for the feedback, and he's revised (slightly) the 2012 Grand Prix Standings based on your input.

9/24/2012

... and our equally speedy official NYUR Grand Prix records keeper (Bob Sherman) has already re-calculated the 2012 Grand Prix Standings.

Just 1 more event for the 2012 series, so sign up now for the 6 Hour-60th Birthday Run on October 14th.
9/23/2012

Thanks to quick work from the race director (Mike Tobin) and the Richmond Rockets, the Staten Island 6-Hour Ultra Marathon results are already available!
9/13/2012

Again, this site has been silent for a few weeks while I got busy on other work, but here are a few Ultra News items which I should have noted:

  • First off, it's time to plug the Staten Island 6-Hour Ultra Marathon coming up on Saturday, Sept 22nd. This can be a great competitive race (it's a NYUR Grand Prix event), or a wonderful training experience (with full support) over a pleasant 2 mile loop course. New this year, there will be 2, 3, and 4 person relay teams. Sign up Now!
  • Richie at the Broadway Ultra Society had such a good time at the BUS 6-Hour Pajama Romp that he's started planning another more low key event in December (on the 8th or 9th). Stay tuned to this site for the evolving details.
  • For those of you who are looking forward to running 60K in November, don't worry, the Knickerbocker is alive and well (on Saturday, Nov 17th)... the New York Road Runners just decided to change the name, to the NYRR NYC 60K. Registration is now open... and it's still one of the least expensive ultras in the area. No word yet if they will have a "Baggage" option :-)
  • ... and finally, congratulations to the USA participants (including our NYUR Grand Prix champion, Phil McCarthy) on excellent performances at the IAU World 24-Hour Championships in Katowice, Poland on Sept 8th and 9th.

8/6/2012

We've processed all the inquiries and checked all the score sheets again, so the Pajama Romp Final Results are now in the books, and we've updated the 2012 NYUR Grand Prix Standings (after 5 Events).

... and several of you have sent us photos for the NYUR Flikr page. Special thanks to Donna Tabios, Lucimar Araujo, and Becky Tsai for sharing their photos with us all.
 

7/31/2012

The BUS 6-Hour Pajama Romp last Saturday is now in the books. Check out the Preliminary Results and with inquiries.
 

7/23/2012

Ultra news from the last week:

  1. The Broadway Ultra Society will score The BUS 6-Hour Pajama Romp electronically this coming Saturday, so if you want to get in on the action send in your application form NOW!. (Yep, the name has been changed slightly but it's the same race)
  2. Last Monday (on July 16th) several area runners began the Badwater Ultra Marathon... 135 miles in Death Valley. Phil McCarthy led the park of our locals, and finished 6th overall in 26:52:01. Phil has published a race report on his blog, which illustrates why he and everyone who particpated (along with their crews) deserves our hardy congratulations. Check the full results & splits to see the remarkable performances of our fellow runners.
  3. ... and the preliminary results are in for the Vermont 100 Endurance Run. Of special note, local runner Mike Arnstein finished in 13th place (18:46:23) just 4 days after finishing Badwater in 31:04:55.

7/8/2012

Plenty of important news today:

  1. First off, if you're thinking of running the BUS 6 Hour Pajama Run, PLEASE send in your registration form NOW... we are trying to get electronic scoring for this race, but we need to have a minimum of confirmed registrations by the end of next week (week beginning 7/16) to confirm a contract with the time keeper.
  2. Phil McCarthy (race director of the GNY100) will be running in the Badwater Ultra for the third time on July 16th... 135 miles in Death Valley (that says it all). He is running in support of Project Hospitality. If you'd like to help Phil in this worthy cause, take a look at this Pledge Sheet, or donate on-line.
  3. Speaking of the The Great New York 100 Mile Running Exposition (aka GNY100), Phil has published a race report on his blog.
  4. ...and finally, registration for the GLIR 6Hr/60th Birthday Run on October 14th is now open. If you are one of the birthday runners (born in 1952) register early to get your name on the "commemorative" appareel.
7/2/2012

It's been over a week since the last runners finished The Great New York 100 Mile Running Exposition and I'm finally getting around to highlighting this astonishing event (organized and directed by Phil McCarthy). Words cannot describe how terrific this event turned out to be, so I refer you to the event Facebook Page for reviews and photos from the runners, pacers and crews who made this event so spectacular. The 2013 version of this race (Phil promises there will be a 2nd annual) will definitely be the driving force in my training plans for next year.

In other news, be sure to register early for the upcoming BUS 6 Hour Pajama Run on July 28th. This will be a great way to get your long run done in the "cool" of a summer evening.

... and we have the registration form for the Staten Island 6 Hour Run presented by the Richmond Rockets on Sept 22nd. As a new feature this year, the race can be run by 2, 3 or 4 person relay teams.
 

6/22/2012

Only 1 day to go for The Great New York 100 Mile Running Exposition. We just added some printable maps and course details to this site in case any of you runners, pacers, or volunteers didn't get the latest emails from the race director (Phil McCarthy). Printed copies will also be available at the start.

Good Luck to all participants... Have fun, stay cool, and stay safe!
 

6/18/2012

Important Request:
There is an ordinanance under consideration by Community Board No.8 in the Bronx to dedicate (co-name) 228th Street as Ted Corbitt Way. We at NYUR feel that Ted, the legendary NY (and international) ultra runner and founding president of the New York Road Runners, more that deserves this recognition and honor.

Support efforts for the passage of this ordinance are being coordinated by Ted's son Gary. Please click here to read Gary's request for your support at the next board meeting on Tuesday, June 19th at 7:30 pm. If you can attend please contact Gary to let him know you'll be there, and get more details.

... and thanks to local ultra runner Grant McKeown for calling this to our attention.
 

6/12/2012

Lots of news to list here:

  • If you haven't already seen them, check out the results from the Comrades (Ultra) Marathon in South Africa. This 56 mile race is a favorite with many local runners. Special congratulations to Admas Beliligne, who became the first American woman to complete 10 Comrades and earn the perpetual green bib.
  • If running 2 marathons in a day at Comrades doesn't impress you, check out the progress of the ultra-ultra runners in the Sri Chinmoy 2012 Self-Transcendence 3100 Mile Race, the longest certified foot race in the world. Starting on Sunday, June 17th, these Runners will have to finish more than two marathons a day from 6 AM to midnight for 50 continuous days in order to complete the distance in the allotted time.
  • Coming up in July (16th) is another super hard ultra, the 135 mile Badwater Ultra Marathon. Looks like lots of local runners and their "crews" will be running this year.
  • ... don't forget Phil McCarty's The Great New York 100 Mile Running Exposition, starting on June 23rd. This premier race will be something to remember. To keep up with last minute changes, also check Phil's Facebook Event Page.
  • Finally, the Broadway Ultra Society (BUS) has provided the information & registration form for the 2012 6-Hour Pajama Run on July 28th. The race director (Richie) asks that you PLEASE enter early. There will be no late or post entries.
6/10/2012

I made a bunch of calendar updates and additions... and there was lots of news about local runners, which I'll highlight as soon as I have some time this week. If you don't see the calendar changes, be sure to click the "Refresh" icon in your browser.
 

5/18/2012

Surprise! We've updated the 2012 Grand Prix Standings for 4 Events! At this point Aaron Heath is in the lead of the men, and Jodi Kartes-Heino leads the women... but there's still three more events to go so there's plenty of room for changes.
 

5/16/2012

Our LI Greenbelt Trail 25K / 50K page has been updated with the full results for the 25K (the 50K was already correct). We also added links to Photo Albums provided by GLIRC.
 

5/13/2012

The LI Greenbelt Trail 50K is in the record books, and the results have been posted. Congratulations to all runners.

... and yes, we are behind in updating the 2012 NYUR Grand Prix standings, but will be posting updates SOON!.

... and with apologies to our ULTRA ultra runners for our silence, be sure to check their extreme(ly) great performance in the recently completed 2012 Self Transcendence 6 and 10 DAY races. And while you're there, consider joining this group of super "extreme" athletes for the 2012 Self-Transcendence 3100 Mile Race starting in June.
 

5/10/2012

There's lots of news to highlight, so here goes:

  • This coming weekend is the LI Greenbelt Trail 50K. Online registration closes on Friday, May 11th at 9am, but race day registration is also available. If you're one of us procrastinators, be sure to dowload and read the Race Instructions and the Course Description.
  • The Broadway Ultra Society has announced the 2nd annual 6-Hour Pajama Run on July 28th (permit pending... but please save the date). Details mostly the same as last year, but new pajamas, and starts 1 hour earlier (at 5pm).
  • Thanks to our good friend and volunteer photographer, Lucimar Araujo, we've posted hundreds of photos from the BUS 6-Hour Run / NYUR 3-Hour Run on March 31st. She managed to catch EVERYONE who participated.
  • ... and for all you Sybil Ludington 50K runners, be sure to read the 2012 Race Report: by David Farquhar.
4/24/2012

The weather was fairly nice ... maybe a little warm... for the Sybil Ludington 50K last Saturday. Check our Results & Photos page for times of all finishers... and pictures of just about everyone. Congratulations to all finishers, and thanks to the Taconic Road Runners Race Directors and volunteers for once again organinizing this terrific event.

4/14/2012

In my haste to get the BUS 6-Hour Run & NYUR Awards 3 Hr Run Final Results posted, I forgot to mention that Richie is getting corrected award tags printed and will mail them to finishers with his next newsletter.

I also forgot to post a reminder about the upcoming Sybil Ludington 50K. You don't want to miss this scenic (and hilly) road race... it is a classic! See you there next weekend.
 

4/10/2012

The score sheets for the BUS 6-Hour Run & NYUR Awards 3 Hr Run have been reviewed and re-reviewed, and we've listened to all concerns... and the FINAL Results have now been posted.

But, of course, email me at and I'll re-check again if you still have problems. Also, please remember to email me your pictures from the run(s) and award ceremony for our phote gallery.
 

4/1/2012

The weather was damp and chilly but it looks like a good run was had by all at the BUS 6-Hour Run & NYUR Awards 3 Hr Run. The most difficult part was the manual scoring process... some of the ever vigilant scorers wound up with frozen fingers (and butts). We made some mistakes, but the PRELIMINARY Results reflect a day long review which we think made most needed corrections.

But just in case, please email me at and I'll re-check the score sheets. We'll finalize the results and update the NYUR Grand Prix standings asap, but it will probably take a few days. Also, please remember to email me your pictures from the run(s) for our phote gallery.
 

3/27/2012

This coming weekend is a big one for the Broadway Ultra Society (BUS) and for us at New York Ultra Running (NYUR). BUS is holding it's first race of 2012, and NYUR is presenting it's 2011 Grand Prix winners with their awards. Join us for these simultaneous events, click BUS 6-Hour Run & NYUR Awards 3 Hr Run for information. Late entries are welcome for both events, but PLEASE give Richie a call (917-620-3431) and let him know you're coming if you haven't ALREADY sent in your registration form.

I need to apologize again for letting this site be silently passive for the last month. Here's another quick catch-up:

  1. Firstly, rest assured that New York Ultra Running is in the process of planning it's schedule of Grand Prix events for 2012. The currently confirmed events are highlighted in blue above. The Caumsett State Park 50K (scheduled for March 4th) is now open for registration.
  2. I'm also in the process of updating the Ultra Race Calendar above, to include the planned / confirmed dates for 2012. This is a work in progress, so let me know if I missed any races you'd like to include (email me at ). Of course, if you don't see a race in our calendar, check the Ultra Running Magazine's Searchable Calendar or, for local events and training runs check out the New York Trail & Ultra Running (Meet-up Site).
  3. The folks who have been bringing us the Holiday Marathon Events (thanks Michael Arnstein and Michael Oliva) in Van Cortlandt Park have run into a Parks Dept road block for Christmas day... but they've saved the day by re-scheduling at a new venue in Tibbett's Brook Park (see The Christmas Marathon Westchester for the details).
  4. ...and finally, congratulations to all of you who completed the Knickerbocker 60K last month. I took a few pictures, which are posted on the NYUR Flikr Site.
... and, again, I'll try to stay more up-to-date in the future.

10/31/2011

The New York Ultra Running 2011 Grand Prix Events (8) have all been completed... and the Final Standings have been calculated and posted. Congratulations to our 2011 Champions, Phil McCarthy and Jodi Kartes Heino... and to all the other winners and age group champions.

Over the next few months we will be planning for an awards presentation in early 2012... and for events to be part of a 2012 series. As always, your ideas and suggestions (like especially any new ultras in the area) are always welcome and will not be ignored. Send ideas to me at . Thanks! ... and Happy Halloween!!

10/17/2011

Congratulations to all runners... and we'll have the 2011 Grand Prix totals finalized and posted here soon.
 

10/3/2011

An apology is in order for the silence coming from this site for the last month, so I'm sorry! A combination of work and personal "busy-ness" has kept me occupied elsewhere, but here's a quick catch-up:

  1. First and foremost, congratulations to local runner Phil McCarthy for finishing FIRST in the North Coast 24Hr Endurance Run. Phil finished more than 153 miles to take the USATF National 24 Hr Champion title.
  2. Reminder: the last of the 2011 NYUR Grand Prix events is coming up in less than 2 weeks... but there's still time to register (by mail or on-line) for the 6Hour-60th Birthday Run.
  3. If any of you have enjoyed any of the last year's Holiday Marathon Events organized by Michael Arnstein and Michael Oliva in Van Cortlandt Park, please read this article (Parks and Retribution - The Riverdale Press), and if you too are outraged by the NYC Parks Department's actions, please let them know at www.nyc.gov/html/mail/html/maildpr.html or email the Commissioner of Parks, Adrian Benepe, directly at .
  4. Another apology: The results from the BUS 6-Hour Pajama Run WILL be published in the next Ultra Running magazine issue, BUT we missed a deadline for them to print pictures and a race report written by 2nd place finisher, David Ploskonka... but here's the report anyway (Ploskonka - 2011 Pajama Run Race Report)... thanks David.
... and I'll try to stay more up-to-date in the future.

9/4/2011

It is with great sadness that we inform you of the death last Tuesday (5/17) of Bill Fischer, one of the New York area's most prolific ultra runners, and supporter of ultra running events. Some of the highlights of his ultra career include finishes at Western States, Vermont, and winner of the 1990 BUS Grand Prix. He was also a frequent and dependable volunteer at many BUS events. In August 2007, he ran his last ultra... Ralph's Run... in memory of his good friend Ralph Balsamo.

Bill died after a long fight with bladder cancer. He is survived by his 16 year old son. An informal memorial has been planned for this Saturday, 5/21, at 11:30am in the Meridiana Restaurant (2756 Broadway, south of 106th St in Manhattan). All area ultra runners and friends are invited.  
5/19/2011

On a happier note, congratulations to our 2010 NYUR Grand Prix Champion, Phil McCarthy, who put in a outstanding performance in the 48 hour race at the NJ 3 Days at the Fair ultra series. His 257.34 miles total for 48-hours broke the American record. WELL DONE PHIL!!

We all hope to see you there... at least stop by for the lunch and the 2010 awards presentation.

Richie Innamorato of the Broadway Ultra Society (BUS) has been off-the-grid for the last few months, but in a mailing to the BUS membership today he provided some insights to the plans for the coming year. Quoting:

"I still hope to have a 2011 BUS season... A mailing will be distributed (in mid-February) ... (and) will have more info about the 2011 schedule and membership."

"The first BUS event will probably be Saturday, April 2. It will be a 6-hour or a 50K. I do not know at this time where it would be... the objective is to combine the NYUR Awards Distribution and an ultra event at the same time."

Check back here, or on the new NYUR Forum for the latest news. Please REGISTER on the Forum, and give us your feedback about Richie's plans.
