Hood to Coast 2007, Team Fluffy Bunnies place 2nd!

As Hood to Coast has “gone green” this year, EcoShuttle thought it’d be quite opportunistic to sponsor a team. Although there is nothing green about thousands of vans constantly starting and stopping and in congestion for what can be for miles at any given exchange, we provided a carbon offset for one team: The Fluffy Bunnies. Congratulations for placing 2nd in this year’s Open Master’s Race, finishing in a time of just over 20 hours!!!
This exceptionally fast and seasoned team placed just behind a Bucknell alumni team. The most amazing part about the race is the fact that the Bunnies 5 women out of the 12 runner relay teams, whereas the Bucknell team had 12 guys; an obvious, yet slight disadvantage considering the race came down to the final leg of the race! Kevin, who just so happens to drive and convert diesel cars into veggie oil rigs, motored his way down the final stretch of leg 35 with a dramatic finish, just edging the Bucknell team. Unfortunately, the aforementioned disadvantage led to 2nd place, but that didn’t distort the pride of the team (can anyone say **asterisks**?)! I was proud to be a part of the team camaraderie, as I ran Hood to Coast 2 years ago on the Lactic Acid Droppers and know what a long, fun and sore-causing event it can be. See you next year with the EcoShuttle Bunnies?!
