This 5K run/walk and kids 1/2 mile fun run to raise awareness of
colon cancer starts at the Southdale shopping Center on 4/13/08.
This year's 4th annual event is expecting 5,000 participants.
Are you looking for a way to "give back"? Good...cuz I'm looking
for volunteers. In particular, I am looking for up to 15 volunteers
to help staff the post race refreshment tent. Our group will be
unpacking and setting up the food items (last year about a dozen
items). The estimated time commitment will be from 8:30 a.m. to 11
a.m. Feel free to bring the kids. Please email me if you are
interested, and I can get you more information.

There are many other volunteer opportunities including
Saturday's "carnival" and Friday's packet pick-up. So if my race-
day group doesn't work for you but you are interested in helping
out - let me know and I can hook you up. Fellow TC Tri member, Mark
Birchard will be looking for finish line/timing volunteers as well.
