We are tickled PINK by how many runners showed up and stood up against bullying at (a wet) MET Madness. Results will be posted before our next race. Apologies to those who didn't get a sticker - the mystery of where they went remains unsolved, but we will have more printed and available at the next race for the U10 boys, U12, and U15 runners.
