The Big Relay Race Continues Across a Nostalgic Route
The Boston Post promoter offers a souvenir two bronze medals to each courier and substitute, with a gold prize for the fastest Boston to New York leg. The black leather pouch bears an old Tinglish label for a 1893 race, sealed by antique clasps. Roads are better than last year, as the event aims to rival major cycling races in Chicago and beyond.
