In this year's running of the Third Brooklyn Triple Crown, it is again time for the premiere competition in local short distance running.  Running teams will again compete for the chance to hold the Runners Cup for teams for another year, bragging rights, and pride in their cooperation and ability.

 Winning teams from last year will have to defend their cup and gracefully transfer the trophy to another team should they win, but any team that wins three years in a row gets to keep the cup forever to display.

With Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz and State Senator Diane Savino looking on, CISF Founder Edwin Cosme took a stand with the Coney Island Coalition Against Violence against the ongoing gun violence that too often cuts short someone's life in Coney Island.  In a hope to spread awareness, there will be a petition drive and a poster campaign as we advocate that 2011 will be a safer year in our community.
