This yearβs race was held on July 3rd at the Bement Forest Preserve Park, and we could not have asked for a better evening. The support, excitement, and community spirit made this event one to remember!
We would like to thank:

A special thank you to Michael Dixon and his crew for always keeping the park beautiful, clean, and ready for our events. Your hard work does not go unnoticed!
Thank you to Gail and Russ for always helping with anything we ask for.
We also want to thank all of our amazing volunteers who gave their time and helped make this race possible. Events like this truly take a village!
Annie, our Vice President, would especially like to give a shout-out to the Cerro Gordo-Bement Track & Cross Country athletes who came out to support the race. Seeing you there meant so much! ππ€
