Jalalabad Jig and the 5k on St. Patrick's Day


Saturday was an incredible day, as the weather cooperated resulting in the 5K on St Patrick's Day being, literally, SOLD OUT! We apologize to those that were unable to run in the largest run in Colorado Springs, or were denied timing due to the lack of timing chips. We will endeavor to do better next year. Additional shirts have been ordered, please allow 3 weeks for them to be available.

We want to thank all of the volunteers that came out to register runners, cut and serve food, and to Billy Davis, Paul Petta and Ryan Haug for pouring and serving water.

Meanwhile, halfway around the world, about 200 Soldiers from Ft Carson participated in the Jalalabad Jig in concert with the Grand Prix. The Colorado Springs Gazette did a feature on a soldier in Afghanistan running there while his wife ran in the 5k on St Patrick's Day http://www.gazette.com/articles/patrick-95644-day-runners.html
