Thanks for your support!
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our volunteers for their dedication and service in support of Niagara Hospice. Year after year they donate countless hours of their time to help plan and prepare for a great day of running! The planning started immediately following last year's race. We examined what aspects of the event went well and what needed to be improved. Your positive comments and constructive criticism were all taken into account as we prepared for this year's event. For example, we have completely redesigned the 5k course and finish line to better accomodate the growing number of race participants and their family members. We will now be able to avoid congestion and keep traffic flowing in and out of the park throughout the event. Many other features will be unveiled in the coming months as we work to finalize our plans.
We look forward to seeing all of you on race day. Weather it's a volunteer fireman guiding you into the park, a Nike staff member helping you at packet pickup, an elementary student holding out a cup of water, or a student athlete placing a medal over your neck at the finish line, please take a moment and say "thank you" to our many volunteers for their committment and service.
