all night runners

Running in the middle of the night can get a little hairy when you're on a poorly marked farm road with no street lights or shoulder...  Most of us ran with 2 headlamps, a reflective vest, a cellphone, mace and a whistle....

Luckily, we had a great crew who was ready to support us along the way if things got too spooky!

Here is Elyse, the last runner in van #2 after she crossed the Golden Gate bridge at around 2 in the morning!

Meet the Driver

We couldn't have asked for a better driver this weekend!  

I  mean...just look at him....   :)

But really...  David was amazing!  He even got out and ran for a few miles with Kelley!

Fuel:

Nicasio to San Geronimo, CA

Amy hauled it to the second exchange station, where Kelley kicked off another 6 legs of running!

The Van

Each van was labelled with our team number, 146.  It also had some reminder rules just in case...

It wasn't long before our trusty dodge was soaked and muddy...  

mmmm....cheese!

While the second Van made their way through Sonoma, we hightailed it to Petaluma to wait at the next exchange station
