2024 RESULTS!!

There were 47 racers signed up! I only have 44 times due some technical difficulties/human error. I did see a LOT of smiling faces on the other side of the finish line!

Thank you to my parents, family, and friends who helped on race day! I appreciate you all tremendously.

Thank you to all of the sponsors, both old and new, for the continuous support!

Thank you B&M Screen Printing for making the t-shirts every year. It's always a pleasure working with you.

Thank you Tom (and Patricia, we missed you) for coming to the event and handing out medals! It's always a joy working with you both. I'm still totaling up the donations for the Childhood Cancer Campaign.

Thank you to the Western Michigan Fair Board for allowing me to use the fairgrounds as a course and the various fair friends for helping with some behind the scenes work!

I've already started my prep to take on the Barnyard Boogie 5K: Year 4 in 2025!
