Frigid Five Mile Race - Edmond, OK

The Edmond Running Club held their 14th annual Frigid Five mile race yesterday. This is one run that I haven't run and yesterday was no exception. I was part of the volunteer group that put this race on. The run takes place in Mitch Park in Edmond, OK and this year we smashed our previous attendance record (2007) by over 300, with just over 930 participants.

The winner of the race, second time he's won in recent years, Edmond's Jerry Faulkner, is also an Olympic marathon hopeful for the 2012 Olympics to be held in London. We also had Edmond's Mayor O'Neal as the official starter of the race and as a race participant.

Everyone received new Frigid Five long sleeve technical shirts, a "green" reusable goodie bag. The medals for this year were in the form of a snowflake and were a big hit.

What a great way to start Valentine's Day!!!!
