Ahwaturkey Trot 2007
The 1st annual Ahwaturkey Trot is now history. Thanks to all who showed and ran and a big thanks to all who donated to the After-The-Fires Fund to benefit people in rural San Diego county. Perfect weather and an enthusiastic crowd of more than 50 runners showed up for the Pre-Thanksgiving feast 5k and kids 1 mile.
At 7:30 Charlie Leight whistled the run to start and we were off (we didn't have a horn or a starters pistol but Charlie can really whistle loud!). Nick Henderson lead wire to wire in an impressive time of 17:56 with Collin Peters and Shad Kelley rounding out the top three.
A big thanks to Lisa Roger who really envisioned this and made it happen. We're already looking forward to next year!

And The Chuckie Goes To...
Congratulations to The Fantastic Fours for winning the inaugural Run/Walk Phoenix Halloween Scavenger Run. The group got the honors to take home the distinctive Chuckie 
trophy and display it proudly on Halloween. It took a group run into the Frys grocery story to get a picture of a can of cat food to seal the deal. Did I hear someone say "Clean up in the pet food isle?"
