The 4th annual Rabun Ramble might just go
down in the history books as the best race morning ever.Almost 700 runners ran on that first
cool morning that broke the summer heat wave - well, at least for the
weekend!Countless runners
were ecstatic with their medals won for the challenging ramble along the Lake
Rabun shoreline.Even more runners
were proud to have completed their first race.If you've done the Ramble, you're ready for almost any race,
wouldn't you say?
The much-anticipated results can be found here.It takes us longer to get them because
we have a hard time deciphering those last minutes registrations!Filled in hastily, that
information IS important so we try to get it right the first time.
We had a few different photographers taking photos
and we thank them all for their help.Photographer Kathy Hamdy-Swink has posted her photos
at her website here. Beka Clay also took a lot of great pictures - and they are located on our new Rabun Ramble Flickr site - here.
The numbers are not in, but we project to be able to
give the Lake Rabun Foundation around $10,000 for the annual scholarships to
local area students.We hope
that introducing them to you at the awards ceremony helps put a face on these
wonderful, deserving young men and women.
At Rabun Ramble we strive to make improvements as we
look back at each race.We added
volunteers to race day registration this year and that seemed to help with
those long lines from years past.We'll order more bathrooms next year as those always seem to be in big
demand in the 15 minutes before the race starts.Don't hesitate to send in your comments (and accolades
too).We do want to keep hearing
what many tell us is a well organized and great family event.See you next year on our fifth running of the Ramble!!!
