Step into the chilled wind-whip streets of Buffalo in this edition of 'Postcards', as we journey through the city's rich running culture and traditions. In this touching episode, Elizabeth Lavis, a runner herself, tells the tale of the Dead Runners Toast, a revered tradition of the Belle Watling Running Club, one of the oldest running clubs in Buffalo.
This is not just a story about running; it's a heartfelt tribute to community, friendship, and the indomitable spirit of perseverance. We navigate the vibrant history of the Dead Runners Toast, tracing its origin to Buffalo's oldest dive bar, the House O'Quinn. We honor the legacy of the club's founder, Dick Sullivan, delve into the club's high-spirited post-race celebrations, and reflect on the solemnity of the 2021 toast, made even more poignant by Sullivan's absence.
