ECR Run No. 7 - Everyone's a Winner

Team

ECR Run No. 7 was a roaring success. Everyone who came and ran, walked and did a combination of the two, had their own personal victories. Some had never run before and finished 20 km! There were so many who registered for 5 km, but in the end switched to 10 km! Some improved their previous best distance by at least 20% Victories all over. For me, it was a very satisfying experience - I loved being a volunteer. I can't wait now to go out and run 30 km.... it has fired me up so much. Thanks to all the participants for making this a memorable event.

We had about 100 people in all, including volunteers. 85 persons participated in the event. The largest ever!

Special thanks to:
All the volunteers - you made the difference!
People behind the scene - in the lead up to the run, helped ensure that all preparations were in order.
Pepsi - for sponsoring Aquafina and helping us keep hydrated all the way!
KK, Karthik, Ram, Shahid, Senthil -for being there and taking care of so many of the "to do" items
"The Evangelists" - Shahul and Venkatesh - for spreading the spirit of Chennai Runners and bringing along sizeable contingents from Maverick Gym and the YMCA

Karthik volunteered to write up a small report on the run and post pictures. You will get an email on this soon.

As always, there have been lots of learnings in organising this event of this nature and areas for improvement. Do give us your candid comments and feedback on the good / bad / ugly or what you would like us to stop / start / continue - it will go a long way in ensuring that your experience of the runs organised by us are an improvement every time, just like your own performances!!

Thank you and keep running!
Cheers
