Fudgesicle history (mine)

This morning I’m planning on running the Fudge-5k in Tewksbury.  It will be my 20th time doing the “Fudgcicle”.  Love these races!  Early 8am start, $1 entry fee, held no matter what the conditions are.  I’ve had good luck here getting 8 wins since my first nearly 29 years ago.

I used to run with Ben Fudge all the time on my lunch hour on the Charles River paths back in the 80's....awesome guy. Is he still with us?

You bet. I saw him a couple of years ago in Florida. He is still alive and kicking!
