......and came in 1st place for female in my age division! Two of my co-workers also ran and won.....1st place trophy for overall female (5K and 10K) and 1st place in 10K for age 30-34 female. Woohoo!!!! It was windy and there were a few uphills in the run but I felt good. Hadn't run a race in a few years and never won anything in a race.
The Las Vegas Black Mountain Lions Club put on the race which was officially called "Run for Sight." It benefited Nevada Blind Children's Foundation, Nevada Blind Center, and Sight First Foundation.
Raffle prizes were really great....from gift certificates to Village Runner, Smith's Food King, race posters, race shoes, coffee, Krispy Kreme donuts, and the grand prize was a helicopter ride for two around the Grand Canyon. I won Krispy Kreme donuts. Yummy!
It was a great morning, for a great cause, with great friends! It was held in Bruce Trent Park in beautiful Summerlin. Most inspirational was seeing the blind walking in the race! They are the true winners!
Congrats!!! I think you were supposed to bite the medal and have someone take your picture, just like in the Olympics.
