Another great run!!!
We couldn't do it without you!!!

Thank you Liam Hughes and Natalie Knapp for leading us off with the National Anthem - a first of many new traditions!

Thank you to the volunteers that came out on a windy, chilly day to do all the work it takes to put this event on!!!

Thank you to the race and walk participants - given the wrath of Sandy, the unpredictable condition of Sunken Meadow with the obliteration of the dam and a course change to 3.0 miles due to Sandy - we are grateful for your support!

Thank you to our sponsors Sal Agostonelli, Clayton's, KP Organization, Hayes Physical Therapy, National Performance Solution for your financial support.

Thank you Runner's Edge, Sayville Running Shop, Balance Chiropractic & Wellness, Sur la Table, Cool Fish, Houstons, Grand Lux Cafe, Vivi's Baby Jewels, Power Systems, Modell's, Meat Farms,
BJ's, Costco, Loew's, Cheesacake Factory, Maria's Restaurant and Carrabba's for your 'in kind' gift certificates...

Thank you to our friends and survivors who donated and reached out to friends, familes and local business for sponsorships.

Thank you New York Islander's for Sparky, the bouncies and a great deal of help!

Thank you for the bagels, chips, Vitamin Water and Smart Water.

Thank you to Just Finish Timing - the race started promptly 9:04 - and guess who was to blame for the 4 minute delay - hmmmm her name starts with D...and ends in ...ie! Love you Deb, you were just double checking a new course, it is understandable and forgiven.

Thank you - Firefighter's Cancer Support Network  and Tony Cruz for the EMS crew, which thankfully we did not keep busy!

Thank you Mark Robinson, Sunken Meadow Cross Country Co-ordinator - for your patience with us and for the tour of the new course prior to race day!

Thank you to everyone who brought food and cleaning items - they were delivered already!

Now for a few apologies.  Given the circumstance of Sandy, with no power and internet, the damage at Sunken Meadow and very few runner's registered by Friday, November 9th - we made a few decisions that may be deemed"unfavorable" without you knowing the decision making process. When we decided to a) go on with the race and b) share the proceeds with the victims of Sandy we made the decision to scale down so a greater profit could be earned.  The medals for age placements was cut (in the past so many people did not pick them up) and we thought IF you really wanted a medal- we would have them done afterwards and order just what was needed.  We had 25 generic medals re-inscripted from last year hoping that would satisfy.  Then Bob Cook at Runner's Edge donated a box full of useful goodies so there would be a gift for placing, hats, gloves and socks. It seemed many more people were interested in the medals this year, so please accept our error in judgement but know the additional money will be shared with families that have lost so much.

 

 

 

We are blessed with good friends,

families and your support

- thank you so very much!
