04.25.16 The LeMessurier canoe team paddled to 15th place out of 54 entrants in the 2016 Run of the Charles canoe race through eastern Massachusetts on April 24. Cheering on the team was a large contingent of less aqueous-minded coworkers and family on the east bank of the Charles River near the end of the race, at Artesani Park. LeMessurier had a strong anchor leg of the all-day race owing in part to a home-river advantage as the finish line is just steps from the office!

04.19.16 Yesterday, April 18, 2016 LeMessurier engineer Ian Neill participated in the 120th Boston Marathon.

Way to go, Ian!
