RECAP: John's Looong Run

A huge thank you to all who made this year's John's Looong Run a success: Alan Svoboda for marking the course; John Phillips, Joel DuBois and June Harris for setting out/retrieving the water stops; Susan Cita, Sue Leone, Edward Fras, and Bob & Maggie Kirkpatrick for preparing all the delicious food. (Apologies if someone left out.)   Special thanks to Sue Leone and Alan Svoboda for hosting this special event in their home again this year.    Next Year will be the 25th running of John's Looong Run. Expect a special limited edition shirt to be issued for the occasion!
