  • Comments: I really liked this race because it was close to home and also fun. They obviously tried very hard to woo those who did the race, seeing as it was a first-time event with a very generous goodie bag and other amenities. Goodie bag had a little wooden silhouette of the church with its history on the back (there is a whole series of these that are sold in and of various local towns) which I thought was a really cool idea. We also got a flashlight, notepad, pen, sample deodorant, refrigerator clip, mini frisbee, a little hand made 'cross in my pocket', coupons, and a voucher for a lawn seat to the local semi-pro baseball team for 2013 and assorted coupons for local shops and restaurants. Then the food goodie bag: POP TARTS, popcorn, Twizzlers and pretzels. Wow! I'm sure they won't go so big in coming years if they continue to do the race, but I was happy to be the recipient of all the goodies this year!
