Race is over. Awards have been handed out. Everyone has headed home. More to come as far as photos, but 2024 was a huge success! Thanks to our nearly 30 staffers (plus Saturday bonus staff) and 62 participants for showing up and partaking in our craziness! It has been one heck of a run and we are so thankful to all past and present who have played a role!
