volunteer on race-day Sunday<br />
told me that she never realized<br />
how much was involved in putting<br />
on a race, much less a<br />
marathon, and how gratifying is<br />
was to be helping out.<br />
CAROL’S<br />
CORNER<br />
THANKS TO YOU<br />
THE 2008 SPACE<br />
COAST MARA-<br />
THON AND HALF<br />
WAS A HUGE<br />
SUCCESS!<br />
A huge Thank You goes to<br />
Running Zone for their many,<br />
many hours of planning and<br />
the orchestration of the 2008<br />
<strong>Space</strong> <strong>Coast</strong> Marathon and<br />
Half Marathon, getting bigger<br />
and better every year!<br />
Of course, none of it would<br />
have been possible without the<br />
help of more than 250 volunteers,<br />
some working from the<br />
wee hours and all day long.<br />
Race Director, Denise Piercy,<br />
has been reporting on the positive<br />
emails she has gotten from<br />
happy participants – testimonials<br />
to the hard work and volunteerism<br />
involved. A first-time<br />
We had some wonderful sponsorship<br />
this year, again, thanks<br />
to Denise for her hard work<br />
and persistence. Special<br />
Thanks to our presenting sponsor,<br />
Health First Health Plans.<br />
In addition to monetary sponsors,<br />
we had some generous<br />
food sponsors supplying all the<br />
tasty treats at the finish line. A<br />
warm Thank You goes to Kathy<br />
Ojeda and Barbara Linton, for<br />
providing fresh, home-baked<br />
goods! Another Thanks to<br />
John Ritter and crew for the<br />
yummy pancake breakfast!<br />
Please take a look at the sponsor<br />
list and patronize these<br />
businesses and let the owners<br />
know that you appreciate their<br />
donations to the <strong>Space</strong> <strong>Coast</strong><br />
Marathon! They need to know<br />
that their sponsorship dollars,<br />
goods and services were well<br />
received.<br />
One more Thank You to the<br />
race participants! Without you<br />
– there is no race! If you have<br />
any suggestions for next year,<br />
we would love to hear them!<br />
