Another example of the Rail Runner’s involvement in the community over the past year was our partnership with the National Senior Games. This summer brought more than 13,000 athletes (plus their family and friends) to Albuquerque for the 2019 National Senior Games. For the first time in the history of the Games, the torch bearer rode a train! 89-year-old Acoma Pueblo runner Esther Felipe ushered the torch into Downtown Albuquerque aboard the Rail Runner 2006 for the opening ceremonies. A free 2007 2006athlete transit pass was given to each and a companion. Overall, there 2008 2007 Pass were 1,514 Athlete &2006 Companion boardings, making it a very successful 2009 2006 2008 2007 promotion.
