Fall Foliage Relay Fundraiser

Our club's fall fundraiser was helping with the "Flaming Foliage Relay" race.

It was a foot race with runners in teams of about 10, running 165 miles - all day and all night to the finish.  Our club members helped set up at the starting area, checked teams in, and checked to be sure each team had all the necessary equipment.  Our members also supervised exchanges between runners at checkpoints 1, 2, and 5.
