June 10 Update: Well, if it’s not one thing, it’s another. As we write this, our beloved Catalina Mountains are on fire, with crews working heroically to contain the flames. We hope that all of our running community friends are safe. Speaking of safety, you can see the Southern Arizona Roadrunners Facebook page for helpful health updates.
Now, back to the Virtual TMC Meet Me Downtown 5k.
We wish we could have thrown a big ol’ running party for, but we sure got to see a lot of you when you came by The Running Shop and Hotel Congress to snag your goodie bags. Thanks, too, to those of you who participated from afar, including a runner from Latvia!
Below that you’ll find information on the results, the raffle winners, the donations, and how to pick up your goodies if you haven’t received ’em yet.
Thanks again,
Randy and Tia Accetta
