Is there any report on the 5K road race held on 25 April 2009?
April 26th, 2009 at 12:46 pmI’ll see if I can get up a post…
April 26th, 2009 at 12:53 pm[...] This event may have not been or Hope may have been lost! If you entered this running event please give us a report. It is our understanding: runners were asked to pay a Fee: $10.00. ($5 Student) The public & students were asked to please make checks payable to “The Peace and Justice Center of Eastern Maine” If a runner wanted a t-shirt you could pay another $15.00. No report on how many runners took the event up on this “deal”. No report on the number of people who did the run to support “Hope”! Well, no report as early Monday 27 April 2009! It is not at all clear who has the information or what if anything the runners would get for their $10.00 or & $5.00. One might think at least the winner would have his/her time recorded? It is my hope to pass on the results as soon as I get them. I am very hopeful. See my question & the answer I was given. [...]
April 27th, 2009 at 8:53 pmI am looking into this so that something can be posted on the home page. I am told the person responsible for this area is out of town for a few days.
