This was a very well organized race for a first year race. I was very impressed that on race day, it appeared they had a good sign up--I think about 85 people had pre-registered and approximately 125 (maybe a little less) actually participated. The U of H - Clear Lake police officer who "emcee'ed" the race was GREAT!!!! And, once again, Jay Lee did an awesome with directing and organizing the race. Race results were completed within a reasonable time AND race results were VERY accurate. KUDOS to Jay Lee for NOT duplicating (double-dipping) in awards. The race benefited an EXCELLENT cause. It was refreshing to see all the different law enforcement forces working together. Having Special Olympic participants at the race, competing in the race and assisting with race duties was a very heart-warming experience. As this was the only race within the Greater Houston area, we hope they have it next year. I am sure this can grow just like Maribel's has grown by word of mouth. LOVED having the little bottled water and the soft drinks on ice for the post race party. Bagels were VERY fresh, oranges and bananas were prefect. Thanks to everyone who made this race a success.
