Reports of 300 to 400 at Run for Hans RTW 5K!
It is 6:15 a.m. in Vancouver, British Columbia and I just received a panic call from my wife at Run The Woodlands 5K #165. (I thought she and Waverly had been in a car accident or something. Thank God, no!)
She said, "We have 300 to 500 cards and we're trying to figure out how to make sure we get the results right!"
My recommendation, "Grab one of the clipboards, form a chute, keep them in a single file line and then just have them give you their name as they come in and match them up against the cards and the time!"
Those were just the number of runners - there was another wave of walkers to go after that - and she said that there were 10 people along the course to make sure folks that were new didn't go off the course!
They didn't get started until 8:15 a.m. because it took them that long to get the registrations done!
Wow ... an incredible and historic day at the $1 5K for a great cause! Way to go The Woodlands, Spring, far north Houston, Montgomery County and Huntsville runners!
And, darn, I'm here!

I couldn't make it out there today either, Jon. Glad to hear that so many others did, though.
Getting those results straightened out right may be the biggest challenge of your career, please especially let me what place Elvis and the running cow ended up at..
Incredible day. I stopped by to drop our training groups donations and couldn't believe what I was seeing. Wait to you see the pictures. What a great community!
That's incredible! Runners are awesome.
