Sponsors for this year's event included Valenty Bottled Water, Inc., East Hills Recreation Commission, Giant Eagle, Yble Concepts, and New River Sportswear.
Race Coordinators Brenda Coughenour, Director of Financial Aid, would also like to thank the volunteers who helped make this race a successful event.
