The response doesn't seem to be as high as in previous years. If you know anyone who would like to volunteer to man a sag spot then please send them my way. Thanks. Coach Crash

As the co-race director of the Patrick Henry 1/2, I would like to come out this Saturday to meet everyone and give a little update on the changes for this year. I was wondering if I should do this before the run and what a good time would be?
