Twenty Blackbirds, Flint Hill Store, Hillsdale Grocery, Harris Hollow Frozen Foods, Hackley’s Store, Sperryville Corner Store, Early’s Carpet, Viewtown Market, the Rappahannock Farmer’s Coop and the Laurel Mills Store need to be recognized for their strong financial support.
Thanks also go to the Pepsi-Cola Bottling Co. of Warrenton for drinks, cups and race equipment, to Wakefield Country Day School for bus transportation, and to Bruce and Vi Vierling for the use of the Flint Hill Packing Shed at the race’s start.
As always, the support of the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Office, the Virginia Department of Transportation and the Virginia State Police were much appreciated, as was that of the Flint Hill, Washington, and Sperryville volunteer rescue squads.
To all of the Girl Scouts and other cheerful volunteers at the water stations, the finish line, the mile markers, the registration desks and elsewhere: We couldn’t have done it without you!
