Oh my goodness how rude of us! In the midst of the race day chaos we forgot to share that there was a finish line proposal!

Congratulations and many, many happy wishes for your future together to Elizabeth Santoli-Johnson and Tony Hill. If you can run 50K together, you've already passed the test and then some. We're so incredibly happy for you both!

Congratulations to all of our S**U participants! We hope you're recovering and rehydrating and sharing that medal with everyone who asked what you did over the weekend.

All photos and results are up on the website. We'll drop the link in the comments. You might need to scroll through the photos to find yourself. Auto tagging doesn't always work, especially if your bib isn't fully visible. Also, the photos aren't always sorted into the correct folders, so course photos might be in the finish line folder.

In case you missed it, we sent an email with lots of post-race details on Sunday. New course records and club and series updates will come out later this week.

Thank you for racing with us!

Thank you SO much to our S**U volunteers!

If you were out there you know it's not just about refilling bottles or handing out medals. It's about how you do it. On a hot day our volunteers listened to what people really needed, got them their hydration and snacks with a smile, and kept people moving when it got tough. Your words of encouragement got people to their finish line, no doubt.

If a volunteer was a big part of your day, let them know in the comments! Then consider stepping into the role yourself and passing on the good vibes.

Thank you, volunteers!
