We have about 25 volunteers but we need another 10-15. The race is Memorial Day, May 27th, and yeah, I know, Memorial Day. But it’s early enough in the day that it shouldn’t affect the afternoon cookouts.   We’re manning two water stops, both in the same location (across from each other). We’ll start to set up by 6:00am.

Uncategorized
SPRING TRACK - Baby sitters wanted!   Spring track is starting soon. This has been a great way of improving your running over the past few years. More on the actual track sessions coming soon.   What we need now is baby sitters, or as they’ve been called in the past, Critter Sitters.
