He is a long time racer of the RHC 5K and had this to say about his reasons for coming back: "I've competed in hundreds of races at various levels around the country and, yet, the Red Hook Crit 5K stands out as one of the most unique and distinguished events I've ever done. The energy, buzz and spirit of this nighttime race creates an unmatched desire for me to keep coming back year after year." Come watch Gian duke it out with the best this Saturday. Spots in the women's field are still available! #redhookcrit5k #redhookcrit ph: @benkophoto
