Comment by Arlene on July 15, 2008 at 10:04am: I think this race is replacing the Run Hit Wonders and the Run Hit Remixes - where a band would play every mile mark. Me and Stacy are kind of bummed bc it's a yearly tradition where we cheat (on the 5k) and this year it sounds like real race where it might be difficult to do so...but the Nike shirts they give to participants are cool enough that we might find a way to cheat this year too!! YIPPEE!!
