Bravo to you for helping pull off an event in such a short amount of time - I would have been in panic mode! 125 participants is a great number - that's the average 5K here!

I ended up being the only person on the committee who knew anything about race planning and I really only know from what I experience while running other races. <br />Though I would never help plan one that quick again, it ended up going pretty well. We had about 125 participants which I decided was pretty good for a first time race that we only promoted for about 20 days... (not my choice) Anyhow, I really enjoyed your series, I wish I had come across this a few weeks ago as I was helping with the planning! I bookmarked it for future use though:)Runaway Bridal Plannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18436851320623647572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993706116118561467.post-83345799379076199482014-08-26T09:32:47.388-05:002014-08-26T09:32:47.388-05:00What a great success!

It's nice to see how much work goes on to setting up one of those events, something I would love to do one day.<br />@heatherlasHeathernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993706116118561467.post-72547691268230204192014-08-26T09:31:44.810-05:002014-08-26T09:31:44.810-05:00Congrats on a very successful race!!!
