Chasing Rainbows and Leprechauns

Under snowy skies, the 25th Annual St. Patrick's Day Dash was held with its approximately 3 and 3/4 mile run. There were no rainbows on this day as winter was not about to let hold of its grip. Snowflakes as big a eggs showered the crowd while waiting for the start of the race, which turned to rain as the race started.

This year's course was new, as 2008 was the last year of the Dash on Hwy 99 (the Viaduct). While there were no views due to the weather this year, the course had its share of hills with a steady climb at the start and a fun descent to the finish.

Despite the weather, adults and kids alike joined in the fun to celebrate St. Patrick's Day and let out their inner leprechaun. Congratulations to the FT clients who participated in the event: Kathy, Jeni, and Antoinette. Hopefully, spring weather will return so we can break out the shorts for the next running event.
