KC Volunteers

Nick, Amy S. and Coach Amy at mile 7

Thanks Volunteers!
Volunteering at the 25.3 mile aid station of a marathon is quite an undertaking. For 8 hours, these volunteers stand out cheering, passing out fluids, and raking up cups for the fastest elite runners to those that bring up the rear.

Thank you to those who came out to help Metro and PB with the aid station: Cris Snooks, Allison, Amy S., and Kaleb. And a special thanks to Amy S. for helping Coach Amy make signs, take pictures and scramble around the course to cheer on all the PB runners.

Congrats KC Marathoners!

Back: Jeff and Tim, Center: Jen, Pat, Charity, Brett and Dave, Front: Mr. Martin, Sherise, Allison, Mike C. and Todd

Congratulations to all the KC finishers!
A special shout out to Sherise who finished her first ever half marathon after coming back from an injury and to our two newlyweds, Brett and Charity for finishing their first marathons. Brett broke four hours and Charity, with whom I ran the last half mile, had enough in the tank to sprint the last 200 yards!
