"Today's Miles for Tomorrow's Runners"

Coach Dean, Brett Epstein, KMS Athletic Director and Scott Sofsian, KMS Assistant Principal

Well, the “Today’s Miles for Tomorrow’s Runners” Relay is in the books. Five teams, 40 runners showed up in the chilly morning and finished the 50 mile (80k) relay around the Kyrene Middle School track. The final figures are in; it looks like we raised $4,030 for the track and cross-country teams.

I have to thank the very special sponsors: Performance Footwear, Arizona Bread Company, Arizona Historical Foundation, Big Stitch Embroidery, Einstein’s and RxRunning for all the awards and prizes.

I also thank all the volunteers (mostly my family) to make this happen. I think I called in all my favors on this one, oh boy, I owe them big time.

And last but not least, I thank all the runners who braved the cold, the distance and the dirt 400 meter track. Thank you all for helping me celebrate my birthday exactly how I wanted to… new friends, old friends, new acquaintances… runners all.
