Urban Wildland

Our family volunteered EARLY this morning to work at the 3-mile water stop for the Urban Wildland 1/2 Marathon. Sheridan Hills (the girls school) annually takes part. The "Green" race makes the schools partnership with the Woodlake Nature Center possible. The classes go on seasonal field trips to the nature center to learn about animals and the environment. The numbers that the racers wear can be planted to grow into flowers!
The 4 of us getting ready to hand out water to the 1200 racers.

Sophi was waiting patiently for the runners...

At the end of the race we picked up all of the cups down the trail. We had such a fun time volunteering this morning - we will definitely take part again next year (maybe Neil will run).

This link below has coverage of the race... Go to 2:40 to see our water stop in action and an interview with the girls principal.
