Excellent race! A crowd of 1700 showed up to run in spite of the weather. It did not rain, but the breeze spoke to a pending storm yet made for a very comfortable outing.
Although this race was for kids, the youth turnout was far less this year than last. The weather may have been a factor or the conditions of last year's event. Many parents had been concerned over the constant publicity of alcohol related entertainment after the race. I can say with delight, that did NOT occur this year. Parents need not be anxious over the influence presented during this event and we can only trust these measures will continue in the future. Much improved in that regard.
This was my second year attending this function and I look forward to 2010 and more RFYL sponsored events.
