"You guys have a great event,
too bad there aren't more races
like yours in the state. Thanks
for everything you do. These
races bring a lot of enjoyment
to a lot of people. My
girlfriend recently started
running and it was her first
race period and she had a blast
regardless of the rain. Thanks
again."
-- Ethan Albertson
"Thanks very much! We had a
great morning – it’s become a
Rite of Spring for our family.
I ran with my son from Ann
Arbor and my daughter from San
Francisco, both in town for the
weekend.
Thanks again! It’s a splendid
race. "
--
Steve Boehlke
"Thanks for faxing me info about
the race. I am excited to be
running in it again this year --
it was my first road race when I
started running in the 90s, and
you all do a great job
organizing it. Thanks!"

"I just wanted to compliment you
on the prize you sent Award
Winners this year. That's a
great wicking shirt!!! I hope
you'll do them again in the
future - - it has attracted a
lot of attention from other
runners! In any event, thanks
again for the shirt and for
organizing such a great race."

morning!

I am simply
grateful to all of you for a
top-notch runner-friendly,

I ran the
2008 5K with my family, my two
daughters and my wife. I want to
say that you did a great job.
The race was well organized and
we had fun despite the weather.
See you next year!
-- Patrick Eastman
I think you guys did an awesome
job. Your team was so energetic
and helpful. When you go to a
race that big and things are
running smoothly, as a runner
you know there was a lot of
planning and behind the scenes
work. You had flawless
execution!
-- R.D. Minneapolis, MN
Despite the weather, I loved
being a part of this fun event.
The course is beautiful and all
the volunteers and officials
were helpful and friendly.

"Just a quick thank you note for the age
group award. The shirts are really great
- stylish, nice tasteful design without
garish advertising and the wicking
fabric is comfortable to run in - a very
nice award!"
-- Jerry Beutel
"Many millions of thanks for such a well
organized 25th anniversary race!
I
felt at peace seeing the results at 5PM on the
web site! What work and coordination, etc. to
have these available!!! Thanks very much to all
of you... for all the speedy results
especially."
-- Rosemary Harnly
"Congratulations for putting on a great run
despite the weather. I've never run it before
and it turned out to be a lot of fun. Once you
start running, the weather is a non-factor."
-- Jeff
Erickson
"Running the rain was actually
fun! It was the shivering before
and after that was a little
miserable! This was the first
time I did this race, and I
think I'll do it again. It was
very organized-- good job."
-- Diane
