I just wanted to say that I thought the whole event was awesome! I’ve participated in a lot of races and this one by far is my favorite. Thanks to everyone for their hard work and great job getting so many volunteers to help! I didn’t notice any problems except the ones caused by the weather we’ve had and who can control that?
It looks like I did place 3rd in my division for the ½ Marathon – bib #4934 finish time 2:01:53. If there is an award I would love to have it! (it’s my first time placing – can you tell?)
THANKS AGAIN!

No Big Deal
I participated in this event for the first time, and although there was confusion about the 10k course, I still thought is was a great event, and the fact that it was done for those special kids and their families, the confusion really is not that big of a deal (who has control of the rain and what it does to the courses?!). When I heard that some people were upset about this fact, it bothered me because the reason for this race is to help these families whose children are fighting real battles, so if there is a few minutes of discrepencies in timing/distance-NO BIG DEAL. A saved life and happy child I think is a little better than 10 mins. off a finishing time. Both my husband and I enjoyed this event, were impressed by the turnout, and are already planning on doing it again next year. So great work to all of you guys and I really hope that you guys get more 'good' feedback than 'not so good'. Thanks again!!

LONDON'S RUN 2010: From the Hannabach's
I just wanted to say thank you! Dustin was so proud to walk in the 2K, He dedicated his walk to his Great grandma who passed away on Friday morning from cancer. I just couldn't imagine how such a little guy could be so brave... And then I realized today that it is because of people just like you! People that give encouraging words and Hope. Dustin's fight is far from over but he is well on his way to recovery and we are grateful to have met you. Your family was a big part of his journey, Words cant begin to explain the feeling of being a part of London's Run....We are truly greatful to be a part of it thank you so much.... The Hannabachs
