Thanksgiving Day XC Run/Walk Hugely Successful!
The largest crowd ever at our Thanksgiving Day Run/Walk event gathered at Lake Fairfax Park on a perfect fall morning. 193 runners took part and finished the muddy, hilly, but well-marked (by Joe F) 5K course; while a large but uncounted number of walkers completed a 2 mile course (also marked by Joe F). Finish Line Services, with Anna B in charge, provided the race clock and the simple card-based results accounting. Results for the run event can be fouind under the "Race Info" tab, at "Race Results". All finishers received at RR first aid pouch provided by Dennis K and his company, MI Homes. A variety of random prizes were offered for a variety of reasons, with the prizes gathered by Helen H and others. Dennis H, RR President was MC for the event. Thanks to all for a highly successful morning kick-off to the annual feast day!
News Flash! Brian K's outstanding photos of every facet and everybody (just about) at our Thanksgiving Day event are now available in the RR Photos - External Sites gallery. Thanks, Brian!
