"Thank you so very much for organizing a great race! I think it's the best solution you could have come up with after the Willamette Valley Relay. It was really FUN! The scenery was fantastic and it was so nice to see other racers so much of the time. It definitely accommodates all level of participants with the options available. I especially liked loop #4 with passing by the rose garden."
-Darlene Backlund
"Congrats on another wonderful event Judy. Had a great time and I really enjoyed the way it was run vs walking out on the road. Felt safer and your volenteers were very supportive and helpful. Thank you again and rest up."
