2022 update - All time lists have been updated

Notes: 2022 was the 30^th running of the Merrimack River trail race.  Conditions were ideal with temps approaching 50 degrees under cloudy skies with no wind.  The course was in great shape despite the heavy rains on Friday.
 
Records set:
Paul Funch set a new 70+ age group record
Jeff Walker set a new 55-59 AGR
Aldo Cossi set a new 65-69 AGR (3^rd fastest 60+)
Adam Malek set the RI state record
Single age records were set by Brandon Newbould (40), Jeff Walker (56), Dave Dunham (58), and Stephen Whittey (65)
 
Others of note:
David Achenbach & Tim Van Orden joined the 100 mile club with their 10^th finishes
Streak leaders Dave Geary (19) and Paul Comeau (13) kept STREAKING
Jesse Young won in 58:14 which is the 17^th fastest ever and the best time since 2016
Kassandra Marin became the fourth woman to win the race two or more times
 
Not quite a record but impressive:
Brightman, Swenson, and Johnson ran the 4^th, 5^th, and 6^th fastest times in the 50-54 age group
Dunham ran the 3^rd fastest in the 55-59 age group
Whittey ran the 3^rd fastest in the 65-69 age group
Julie Craig ran the 2^nd fastest in the 55-59 age group
Christine Crowley ran the 4^th fastest in the 50-54 age group
 
For a deeper dive.  All of the information you could want (and more) are in the all-time lists.
  

All-Time river stats

 Everything you want to know about the Rivah!  (and more)

Really, pretty much everything about the race from 1992-2022.  All of the top times by each age group, streak runners, who won, how many finishers, etc.

If there is a stat you want it is here.  If it isn't here, let me know and I'll figure it out!
