What a Great Event!

Wow!  Hats off to KC Reed, and R.E.D. member Jim Mason for putting on such a fun event!   The Gamehaven "True" Cross Country Run was really amazing!   Pre-registration was very light, and given the mix of rain/snow/temperature, there was concern that very few would come.  Well, 89 runners took the challenge (most of them race day registrants).  

The event had a bit of everything... a little rain, a little snow, a lot of mud and a whole lot of fun!   The Race started with a blast from a cannon... YES... A CANNON!     What a great way to get out of the gates!   The two creek crossings were a bit deeper then anticipated (again, given the recent rain/snow).   The mud was simply everyplace!     The post race was fantastic, with hot cocoa, coffee, and soup, in a building heated by two double barrel wood burners. 

Pictures will come as soon as I score some... there were many cameras, and the request is out.  Additionally, a clip from the race was shown on KTTC at 6pm.. and will likely be on again at 10pm.. KTTC talked to Team R.E.D's Meg, however they elected to feature the boys from Century High Cross Country (those boys deservedly won the "team spirit" award).

Team R.E.D. members taking part in this first time race included  Adam, Roger, Meg, Tod Paul M, Sonja, Scott, Millie, Andy B, Tracy & myself... as well as two new R.E.D. members, who just joined us today!    Welcome Merideth & Don!      Volunteering and doing great work were Jim M, Matt and Lindsey!  

*** Note:  Millie scored an award, finishing 2nd place in women ages 20-39.. that's a big age group!  Way to go Millie! ****
