Big thanks to our volunteers today and special mention to Jeremy R , for sacrificing his run to take up Marshall role and Wendy M , for stepping into barcode scanner.
Without these positions filled, we would have to cancel the event!

Event 435 was a huge success, thanks to our incredible volunteers! 10 volunteers, 59 runners, and a victorious dog. The weather was perfect and we welcomed 6 first-timers and achieved 5 personal bests. Great job, everyone!

Missed the shout out and photo last week to another exceptional group of Vollies! Thanks to RD Malcolm two weeks in a row with his coveted chocolate competition, it is a big winner!!
