Feedback

Here's what some people are saying about the Family Fitness Event:

I just want to let you all know how much our family appreciates the great event you put on this past Sunday!  This was my 4 yr old's first official race, and we all had a great time.  It was very well organized, the course was marked well and the cheering team along the route was great!  Especially getting to hear his name over the PA as we approached the finish line.  And he is wearing his medal every day showing people. He told me "mommy I am so proud of myself!" This has been a very encouraging event for him to stay active and healthy.  

But really, you all did an amazing job from the snacks, to the raffle, to the promotional booths, to the official timing and posting the pictures.  What a great group of volunteers.  I realize there are many ways to fundraise, some probably much less time consuming than organizing a race, but we appreciate you all encouraging health and fitness in the community.  We hope to join you again next year!

Sincerely,

Robin L.

Thanks so much for putting this on.  My family and I had a great time at this event.  We look forward to it again next year!

Thank you so much for the opportunity to get out and run as a family.  My husband and I ran along with our four children, 9 ,5, 3, and 2 months old.  It was such a positive experience for the whole family to be active and spend time together, I wish there were more events like this one.  Thank you for all that you did to put the race together.  It was a very well run event!

I just wanted to relay to you that two individuals running the event were from my husband's school in Chandler--both have run in a variety of 5K races.  They said this was a very well-managed event--they enjoyed it.

Thanks,
Jodi P.

Thank you so much!  It was a great event and we look forward to next year!

Thank you. You and the committee do a fabulous job with this event and it is really a great activity.  We’re graduating from Pueblo this year and are hoping to continue to get email invites/notifications.
 
I really appreciate all of the effort that goes in to this event and that it is such a positive, healthy activity.
 
Thanks again for all that you and the team did to make it successful!
