It was an opportunity to create
lifelong bonds and share in

The noise of triumph was heard as
each team member and a few of
our invited guests challenged the
final stretch of pavement and
crossed the finish line with elevated
fists of victory. A job well done to
all that crossed the final mark, be it
the first placed winner or the winner
that brought the race to a close.

and conversation with new
acquaintances certainly carried in
the twilight hours with a more
spirited ending.
CHEERS to a good Race! See you
next year.
