There were over 300 participants. The weather was warm and humid, but that did not deter the runners. It started at the Capital and ended at the Goodman Pool where we all were able to cool off with a two hour swim just for us. How great was that! My hubby and niece/recipient and I enjoyed the interaction with the other walkers. There were several families walking in remembrance of a loved one who was a hero to many through donation. Very touching.
Your name was called out as you passed the finish line, micro chips in your number. You were handed a cold water, ice cream bars, snacks, a T-shirt, a tote bag, and blow up orange, Donate beach ball, for the pool. Awards were handed out for the faster times in the different age groups.
The NKF was there of course and informed all that this would be an annual event held on the last Sat of July from now on. So hope some of you can make it next year. It is a scenic tour along Lake Monona. Janice
