    Thanks to Peter Artel who works so hard to get this done. It is a great benefit for the community and an incredibly fun way to be involved. We did not run but watched, and helped clean up the eater cups. Children ran, babies were pushed in strollers, middle aged women power walking, people from all over the US, some other countries…,very cool!

    Thomas was running as fast as he could to get away from our crappy drab-gray winter weather here in the Hoosier state.
