Just wanted to give you feedback on the race (if I may)..  I think you do a fantastic job with the water stations, music and the people who help out.   I would only recommend maybe a bit early since this last two yrs the weather has been hot, but of course its unpredictable.  Otherwise, keep it up and the best part of your races is ~you wait until ALL runners finish. You ought to be paid a million dollars because as I was leaving there was a woman with assistance of her two poles trying to finish up and to see the cones still there and the policeman watching was a blessing.  May this passion you and your family have for people make it fun but rewarding for ya!!!!!

Smiles and happy races to ya in this wonderful journey of yours.

Thank you once again,
Diana :0)

PS  My hubby loves the shirts so awesome job again!!!

I wanted to say thank you for a great event. My wife and I traveled a very long way just to run this race and when a person travels that far you really hope it meets expectations. And  it really did. We picked Tucson because of the beautiful scenery and  that we had never been there before. Well done the race was well organized and the run had a great lay out. Just small enough of a filed to allow you to do the things with smoothies and food and free stuff but large enough field to give it that competitive field. You should be very proud!!! Well done!!!

We had a great time again.  Kyle didn't get to help the last time because of his soccer game, so this was his first time and he loved it.  Gabby enjoyed herself again.  My sister was glad that she not only got to spend Halloween with the kids but got to participate.  We look forward to helping again and also participating.  You put on a great event and it was clear that everyone was enjoying the race and events.
 
Take care, Rosie

Steve, it is great fun to help out, even just doing packet pick-ups!  I love meeting the running community and encouraging people to enjoy running.  Thank you for letting me be a small part of this fantastic group!  :-) 

Sincerely,

I enjoyed my race this morning, and I thank you very much for finding so pleasant a walking companion.  Thank you for keeping the water stations out for us and for leaving up the Finish Line, and thanks for my Cheering Section at the end.  This time, I had NONE of the exhaustion which has plagued me for any of the other races I've done.  Tired, yes, but only in the feet.  I never had the panting and gasping with exhaustion I had had before.  I was not out of breath at all, and that's a WONDERFUL feeling.    I was so embarrassed at having to quit half way through the race in 2006, and that's why I hadn't contacted you in the interim.  Now, that my friend Karen and I are doing the River Walk on a regular basis, I feel comfortable about tackling anything within reason!   I will keep in touch with Jennifer, and the next time a suitable race comes my way, I will certainly ask to find any other walkers.

With gratitude and appreciation,
JANNE

Steve, It's Wednesday and I'm still smiling from Sunday's EveryoneRuns. You are amazing! With the immense amount of work involved from planning to completion, you see to every detail with apparent ease, making it more than enjoyable for all of us. Thank you for such a beautiful morning, and thanks to all your volunteers. I really appreciate all the hard work that goes into your runs.

EveryoneRuns is Everyone's Fun. I hope you have some fun yourself. I also liked your saying, "You're a good old." I can use that the next time I need a password.

Wishing you the best always,

I'mAgoodOld

BTW, the 1/2 marathon was fantastic. Beautiful weather, nice course, great volunteers, and good friends to run with. Kudos for the great race. I have only one complaint. I only saw one port-o-potty along the entire course. I was lucky and got in within a reasonable time but I think we could use a couple more.

Cheers! Teena

The race was great. Your volunteers were upbeat and they were still there as I passed. A big Kudos to all of the musicians. As the last runner in the race I was overjoyed to see them and they sounded great.

The course was fast and therefore I ended up with my fastest time ever. I never intended on running (even slowly) for 13 miles but I did for this run. I will be going to Fleet Feet for new shoes soon.

My only suggestion would be to please, please add a Potajohn around mile 4 or 5. Waiting until 8.5 was excruciating.

Thanks for a great day,

Paula

Steve, just wanted you to know how much my husband and I enjoyed our first walking experience last Sunday. We were very impressed with you and your organization. You were great to return 2 phone calls to me during the registration. process.. I took your advice and walked the 5k twice. Thank you and yours for your great effort.I look forward to another run/walk.

Again, kudos to you and all for getting up in the wee hours of morning to make this event a great success!  Overall, I think this event was the best.  Enjoyed the kids fun run-- good way for them to participate in the event and they may be our future Olympian!

Another plus is the timing chip as this helps the runners to spread out and still get an accurate pace. 

As always, keep up the good work...

My name is Lance Turner and I ran Sunday in the half marathon.  By the way, the event was amazing, I really mean that too!  The last 3 races I've run, one was a tri, I got lost and/or confused on the run course due to poorly marked or poorly prepared courses.  And yours was incredible, I didn't even have to think of where to go; the cones were great, but the volunteers are the ones that make it so easy and I just wanted to say thanks for all the effort you put into your races.  They go so smoothly without a hitch, that we can see anyways.  Thanks again, wish I could do more, but the Army has other plans for me.

Sincerely,

Lance Turner

Thanks for an awesome event, as usual. It's a good half-marathon course. It has a good balance of flats and rolling hills without being completely boring (i.e. completely flat) or too difficult.

The only two things I'd like to see changed a little bit for next year are that many of the cones were too far too the left leaving almost no room to run to the left of them without going into the dirt. For parts of the course I felt like I was sort of always weaving in and out of cones depending on how far over they were. Not a big deal, but I did notice it. The only other thing was that coming up for the finish it would have been nice to have gone through the gate to the track and continued east rather than having to turn around completely in the other direction. That just broke up my stride a bit while I was trying to bring it in for a good finish.

That's about it. The venue, setup for kids and family, tents, water stops and the people working those, the police, bands, etc. were all great.

Thanks again.  Steve

You and your team did a great job putting the November 1 st  Race/Walk together.

I just wanted to say Thank you again for a great running event today.  I love your philosophy about running.  You are really trying to get the community to get fit and participate to make them healthier.  Everything was great.  The course, the volunteers, pre and post run events but mostly because you love doing these events.  I really enjoy participating in them.  Keep up the good work.  You're the Best.
