We had a great day for the half marathon and 5k races on Sunday May 4th. The sun was out, the runners were cheerful, all went smoothly for this first annual event. I was part of the Transportation Team—I’ve never been part of the organazional side of a run like this. The runners that I shuttled were very pleased with the logistics, surprised that all could run so smoothly for a “first event.”

I had to smile as I watched Mike and Sue Prom, Tom Lynch, Bob Baker—with all the people involved with their radios and their logistics. They were running this with the same procedural structure as a fire incident—of course it ran smoothly, they’ve had LOTS of practice with that! The happy runners were already looking forward to bringing their friends next year….better get training!!! http://www.hamrunhalfmarathon.com/results.html

Jana claimed that she and Mike weren’t in a race, they were on a date.

Gunflint Pines hosted the start of the race.
