Here is a quote from www.treadpowerfully.com. All we can say is "Thanks for your support and participation! We look forward to having you back again next year."

I cannot say enough about what made this race so professional, safe, warm and encouraging:

• Volunteers at race kit pick-up were friendly, helpful and the whole process was a dream!
• Each racer was given four door prize tickets to place in the item they wanted to win - cool!
• There were separate half-marathon, 5K and 10K race shirts and they looked beautiful and fit great
• The race course was a combination of countryside and city streets, with tons of room to pass; the fact that everyone completed the final 5K together with faster and slower racers all around did not impact or deter anyone
• The on course judges, charged with ensuring proper power walking technique, took their jobs very seriously
• Each person was welcomed into the finish line by Kelly Arnott from VR Pro over the microphone and a medal with two spinning figures was placed around each racer's neck
• Offering team spirit awards and team photos such as the one above further cemented the sense of community and belonging

In the end, the Tread Powerfully^® team spent a lot of the day cheering, high-fiving and obliterating personal goals. The nerves we all experienced as we shivered at the start line were long gone by the time we crossed that timing mat at the finish line.
