Thank you all for coming out and making this year an awesome year! We had a great turn, great weather, a great community of runners, walkers, and survivors. That being said I'm incredibly honored to have been able to work with The Sudden Cardiac Arrest Association over the last couple years, it has brought more attention to the cause and has brought awareness to the front, so thank you all again.


The 2013 results are now live at this link 2013 Official Results, you can also find it under the results tab on the website. You can email me at lynchcreek5k@hotmail.com if you have questions or spelling errors.

2012 Lynch Creek Runs - RDs Perspective

04/09/2012

First off I will never get tired of saying this but a big thank you to everyone involved !!

Each year you learn something new that didn't present itself the year before, and this year was no exception specially with the new added distance. I felt that for the most part everything went really smooth people had a great time, we had great weather and some fast times were laid down. The Sudden Cardiac Arrest headed by Angela Taylor were out in force as well, it was great seeing all the survivors enjoying the day with a smile on their faces!!

Probably the biggest highlight of my day other than the beautiful weather, and watching some very fast runners tear up the course, was in fact our youngsters. Not just in the 1k kids run but there were some very fast kids in the 5k that placed very high, I'm very impressed and inspired !! The kids 1k is always my favorite seeing the kids run their hearts out and come back in smiling like they were just handed a million bucks, it never gets old!!

What goes with the good often is the bad, I was terribly sorry about the T-shirt problem, the timing mix up and lack of course marshaling.

The T-shirts we had enough for all the participants that per-ordered in time, but some how miscommunication and mishandling lead to a short in shirts and some of the participants that were to get shirts were shorted, I truly am sorry about this. Rest assured I have corrected that problem and set forth in motion a better system for next year so this will never happen again!

With the hour difference between races, and a few people that decided to do both events bibs were mixed up and caused a malfunction in the times getting jumbled, again I apologize for this as well, and its something I working on for next and I thank everyone for their patience.

All in all it was a great morning and afternoon with sun shining and every one smiling Thank you and I look forward to your return in 2013 !! Please enjoy the photo's that Matt Hagen took of the event they are great.

03-12-2012:
Im extending the t-shirt deadline to the 23rd of March so that will give you an extra week to get a shirt and register before the prices increases.

We are fast approaching Race Day and I'm still in need of a few volunteers, if your interested or know someone that would be please have them contact me at lynchcreek5k@hotmail.com thanks Brandon.

I figured this is a good time to share some good news with everyone. We have some great sponsors this year throwing out gift certificates, products from Hammer Nutrition and Biofreeze and other swag so every one has a chance to get something, This year I'm putting some prize money in for the fast runners. $125 for 1st male/female of both races, $75 2nd, $50 3rd and a $75 bonus for the 5k record of the male and female records.
