Colin should have received a medal. If you let me know what school he is at, I can get it to him. If he is at the Galvin vs. Melrose meet on Monday at the high school, he can see me.

My children had an awesome experience! Great turnout for the first event, Mr. Pappas did a great job promoting the race to the children! I think it will be even bigger next year! Next year i would organize the finish line a little better to avoid the confusion. It was a beautiful day for a fun event!

Thanks for the suggestion! We talked about both those issues. It was a nice surprise to have so many runners. Next year we should know what to expect.
