It's the nature of the race, it seems like. I think there's enough of a local buzz about it that if someone's a runner and they end up here in town they'll find out about it.

We are very excited to be one of the beneficiaries of the inaugural endeavor of the Aloha Street Nature Project.

Race hate isn't human nature; race hate is the abandonment of human nature.

If you set a goal for yourself and are able to achieve it, you have won your race. Your goal can be to come in first, to improve your performance, or just finish the race-it's up to you.

And I also coach Travis Chambers of Heritage, who place third in that race. So it's kind of like we went 1-2-3-4.

This has been about the fifth or sixth year that we have volunteered at the race. We enjoy going out there and meeting with the runners and helping them out. This really gives us a chance to support the community that has supported us over the last few years.
