February Trophy Series Race – Snowy Again!
Snowy weather moved in once again for the February race at the Platte River Grill! 99 runners took to the course today, running through snow and chilly weather. Not quite like the December race, but certainly not the sunny day we’d all wished for. Karen Voss finished first of all the women, Tristan Mitchell was the top-finishing man, and Mike Blanchard once again led the racewalkers. Take a look at our snowy pictures; results are coming soon!
2009 Awards Banquet–Another Hit
The 2009 RMRR Volunteer and Awards Banquet ended up as another good time for everyone who attended. We had some great inspirational talks by Kerry Kuch, an RMRR runner who happens to be blind, and Dom Journey from the AIR Foundation. Both gave us insight into how tough luck and bad choices can produce strong runners…and people who overcome great difficulties in their lives. We celebrated this year’s top 20 runners and racewalkers, and also honored all of the volunteers who make the club run. Take a look at all of our photos soon!
