A new year means another chance to participate in this medium difficulty race. The course consists primarily of rolling hills and steady up hills towards the end before finishing in a downhill bending finish. If you can keep a steady pace you can make up a lot of time in the last quarter to a strong finish.

After the race there is a raffle for everyone involved, a full breakfast and chili, and each medal is a hand painted flower pot with bulbs that the children paint.

This year was milder and only a thin mist of rain at the beginning that was gone a little after the start. The turn out grows and grows each year but I actually did better than last year to get a second place finish.

All the people at the church and the children that help are always very friendly and great to be around.
