Race Results

Thanks to all of the runners who participated in both the 5K run and our new 10K run this year. Unfortunately, we were unable to record final times for all runners.  We understand that this is important to competitive runners, and already have a plan in place to make it happen correctly next year, as well as some other process improvements that were suggested. We appreciate your feedback, and the fact that you were willing to come out and run to celebrate survivorship with us!
