Simply Amazing!

Runners + shoes + hot, humid, awesome race with excellent post race fiesta + e-mails/web site information = Simply Amazing!!!

How else can you explain that of approximately 60 runners who started Cat's 50k**, 100(+) pairs of shoes were donated this morning.  Not all runners donated shoes, either! 

I'll let the pictures do fill you in.

Only some of the runners at the start of Cat's as they listen to RD Jeff talk about keeping hydrated, the course changes, aid station locations, and reminders to keep a look out for each other.  (All things common to these great runners!)

This is about 2/3 of the shoes that were donated.  They kept coming, and coming, and coming.  They filled much of my car!

Thank you to all who continue to help us to support students in our area!  You are changing lives forever with your awesome-ness!

Also- there's a chance that we'll be collecting shoes at Catoctin next weekend.  Please check back for more details.

**Number is not official.  It is based on visually ID'ing the runners at the start and the list on the Cat's website.
