Finally, thanks to everyone who attended our Striders club BBQ held along with the race and awards. Despite some rain, we had a great time with all of you and hope to do it again! Thanks to everyone who contributed food, drinks, tableware, and delicious desserts, to Kim Mills who donated hot dog rolls and hamburger buns, to the Winslow youth cross-country team, which came out to run and provided some great food, and to Striders vice president Brendan Gilpatrick for manning the grill.
