More fun photos from last Saturday’s Member Appreciation Party!

What a fun time we had just a week ago, today!

Again, we want to congratulate all our award winners and those who were nominated by the club for Member of the Year or Runner of the Year.

The board had extensive discussions about all the award recipients, and no decision was made lightly. But, from my perspective, there’s something special about being nominated for an award by your peers.

About 60 people voted for ROTY and MOTY and all nominees received several votes. We view nominations in these categories as a special honor.

Soon, we’ll release even more footage so stay tuned.

Give Us Feedback

We strive to be a board that is always improving, so we’ll soon be discussing our learnings and ideas to make this event even better. We welcome all feedback from you. If you have any suggestions for improvement, please email one of us or pull a board member aside at an upcoming run.
