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!

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!

"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. "

"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."

"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."

"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."
