Can you believe it’s been two weeks since the festival??

Huge shoutout to our volunteers who came to help and support our runners throughout the weekend!!! 🙌🏼🤍 These photos only highlight *some* of our volunteers, but thank you to everyone who played a part in the weekend’s success!

If you are interested in volunteering for next year’s JTARF or any of the other events put on by the RUNegades, please comment or email the director of volunteers - Trish Eaton ([email protected]). We’d love to have you!☺️

Here are just a handful of photos from yesterday’s marathon from the finish line and some of the runners who earned an award! Luckily the rain held off, the trail was clear of most puddles, and the sun even peeked once or twice 😎

Photos of some of our amazing volunteers throughout the weekend will be posted soon, but for now, a huge shout-out to all of them and everyone else who made this weekend possible and a success! We couldn’t do it without all of you. 🙌🏼

We hope you can join us for some of our other events later this year and especially JTARF 2027!

Sincerely,
💛 Your race directors in the yellow jackets
Mike, Marilyn & Trish

Be sure to get a good night’s rest, and we’ll see you for either the 7:15 or 8 AM start times! 🙌🏼

The rain almost held off for all of our finishers of the 7-miler and 1/2 marathon this morning. Congratulations to all the runners who ran their first race, PRed, made memories with family and friends, or got through with perseverance!!! 👏🏻 🎉

Thank you to all of our volunteers and staff who made this morning possible. Many of them will continue to work hard throughout the rest of today and early tomorrow morning for our full marathoners. We hope to see you there!!! 🏃🏼‍♀️😊🏃‍♂️
