Okay guys, we must be doing something right with this thing! I was definitely worried that this year we were going to see the numbers fall off. Especially after such a small crowd at the final one last year.
I told some of you that I keep a tally of total participants. That means if you ran one race and your name is in the results, you get counted once. It also means that if you run all six races, you get counted once. It is simply a list of all the people that ran. I've kept this data for the last 3 years. Unfortunately, I can't find all of the results from the first year (2004). Here are the final numbers:
2005: 122 participants
2006: 133 participants
2007: 150 participants
I want to thank everybody that helped out this year. It was another successful venture and we had a lot less pizza left over than last year. Thanks to Tom and Randy for doing such a great job once again. Thanks to all the race directors for such a great job on all of the courses: Tommy Chandler, Dennis Robertson, Norm Derosa, Dennis Mickey, Joe Altobello, Steve Cosner, Jamie Beeman, Marc McMillan, and Tom Dawson. Thanks to all of the "older guys" that take to time to slow down and help out the younger kids: Rob Smith, Jeremy Rice, Woody Snoberger, Ryan Bowser, Lauryn MacFawn. A special thanks goes to David Mertz and Jen Patton, who took over the show when I was either away or injured - you two did a great job in leading the warm-up and stretches and I am glad to have such a wonderful group to depend on - 4 years ago it was a lot different; thanks for all of the help!
