We are still looking for Volunteers to help make this race happen. Feel free to contact me, Jay, Cecil or Renee if you are interested in helping out. Last year's event was huge.... actually it was a little bigger than we expected for a first time event. Almost too big for our small group of volunteers, so we would appreciate any help you're willing to give. we're working on food and swag for the volunteers -
