We lucked
out with another year of perfect weather, hitting a high in the low 60’s with a
cool wind and warm sun. The fall colors
were at their peak and it couldn’t have been more beautiful out there on the
trail! We had incredible sponsors who
provided us with our printed materials, buses, chocolate milk, television and
radio promotions, music, door prizes, post-race massages, and the funds to be
able to give our participants so much while keeping their fees lower than most
other races. We had amazing volunteers
to mark pumpkins, stuff bags, work registration, set-up the course, be our
traffic monitors and crossing guards, help with post-race food and around the
finish area, with awards, etc. And my outstanding husband again provided us with all of our designs: website, posters, brochures, banners, shirts, awards, and even photography on race day. We were
blessed with so many people who all came together to make this possible! THANK YOU!
Registration
numbers were up this year as well. Last
year we had 352 register and 305 participate.
This year we had 377 register and 351 get in on the action on race day! We had 3 out of the 4 course records fall as
well! While we know that there were a
few things we could have done better and can improve upon for next year, we
also heard a ton of great feedback! One
person went so far as to say that this was the best event in Three Lakes! A lot of comments were about how well
organized the race was – I give a lot of credit to my amazing race committee
for this! Other stand-outs that I heard
were how awesome the volunteers were, great food (especially the fresh ground
peanut butter and the plethora of chocolate milk), and the much improved
finishing route. The trail is always
top-notch thanks to the Three Eagle Trail Foundation! This is the race that you want to do year
after year.
