Thanks to the volunteers who work the day of the race and to those who put in hours all year long, like Bruce Coldsmith, Mike Ryan, Peggy Olive and Jo Burrows just to name a few. I know that there are "alot" more and I would like them to know that we appreciate their time and dedication to the running community. Oh yeah, it is always great to see and hear Lonn Spencer on the mic.
