Spencerport graduate runs
across the country in continuous relay

In commemoration of Rochester Institute of Technology's 175th anniversary, a group of RIT runners will trek across the United States in a 2,730-mile continuous relay run.

Nate Lowe, a graduate of Spencerport High School and a second-year student at RIT, is one of the 18 runners.

The Coast-to-Coast run features current members and alumni of the RIT men's and women's cross country team. The run kicked off on November 17 near San Diego, California at the Pacific Ocean and ends on December 1 in Annapolis, Maryland at the Atlantic Ocean. Eighteen runners will complete the 14-day event, each running a two-mile interval, then resting for 3.5 hours before joining the relay again.
