This picture does little justice to capture the kind of person you were.

Three years ago we lost a teammate, runner, training partner, but above all else a friend.

Keep on running in Paradise Johnny.

For the first time in almost four years NER would field a complete roster for a race event.

Led by Alan Carreno, NER would land six runners in the top 15, with five being among the first ten finishers at the inagrual Red Rock Canyon 10 mile race held by Bristlecone Events. Alan would place second overall in 55:48, followed by run club member Jon Russell's 4th place finish in 57:55. Alejandro Belmares would land in 5th place overall and take second in the 30-39 age group (with Jon Russell taking 1st), in a time of 58:15. Brent Shirley would make his official team debut at the event earning 10th overall in 1:01:20 (4th in the 30-39 age group). Run Club members/sisters Bree Thorpe and Mercy Sells would place 2nd overall in the women's division (9th in the general standings), and 4th in womens (13th in general standings). Bree would run 1:00:49, followed by Mercy's 1:06:17. Spouses/Run Club members Ericka Rios would place 19th overall (8th female) in 1:11:38 earning a second place finish in the 40-49 age group, followed by Pedro Rios Sr in 1:12:14 in 20th overall (2nd 40-49 age group).

A HISTORIC DAY FOR GAMINI SUGATHADASA

Gamini became the FOURTH person from the state of Nevada to run all SIX Marathon Majors, but the FIRST person from Southern Nevada to do so. Furthermore Gamini became the FIRST person from Sri Lanka to complete all six majors as well.

Gamini's running statistics:

London 2018: 2:47:45

New York 2017: 2:45:05

Tokyo 2017: 2:42:50

Chicago 2016: 2:48:11

Boston 2016: 2:46:02

Berlin 2015: 3:04:14

Truly astounding what Gamini embarked on and completed

The 122nd Annual Boston Marathon would be one of the most memorable days in the long history of the race. On a day that featured freezing temperatures, wind gusts of 30 mph, and a torrential downpour, runners were tested in every possible way to cross the finish line.

Alejandro Belmares would negative split the course and run 2:52:08 finishing as the top runner from the state of Nevada on a day that featured freezing temperatures, torrential downpours along with crazy headwinds.

To him and all the finishers we congratulate you on a mighty performance in such awful conditions

Keep on running in Paradise Johnny.
