I HAD SO MUCH FUN on the first water stop with Danuta and
team! It was AWESOME and we could not have asked for better weather.
Congratulations on another fine race, and all the funds you raised. I look
forward to seeing'/helping in 2012! I am on Kathryn's volunteer list for the
Giralda Farms 10K race next month [thank you again for the referral!]. All
best, Denise Carlson
Thanks so much to
you and everyone involved in putting this event together. Both Whitney and I
really enjoyed our first Hounds and Harriers Run! In fact when we went back to
the park the following week, Whitney was looking around to see where all her new
friends had gone. The pictures were a great souvenir from this event and we
look forward to running again next year. Thanks, Scott Heller
These pictures were great, some very good photos in here. Its so nice to see so many photos from this event and people excited. What a great day! Glenn Hartrick
Great job today. Two friends ran with me, Ann Zouvelekis who ran Nellie and Kathy Keena who ran her dog Tony. They had such a great time, they want to do it next year. Shanley did better then I expected for her first time. Thanks. Geri O’Brien
Thanks so much for another great morning at the Hounds and Harriers Run. We had a great time and everything, from what we could see, went very smoothly. Perfect weather too and a nice group of runners. Nancy and Dex, Rich and Nikki Freundlich
Fisher and I had a blast this morning Barbara!!!! Thanks for all of your hard work to organize such a wonderful event! Special thanks for the wonderful goodie bag and raffle prize! Looking forward to next year! Terry Travis & Fisher
Just wanted to say thank you for finding room for me at the race this year! Ollie and I had a great time! The race was so well organized and we couldn't have asked for nicer weather. It was nice spending time with such a nice group of people and dogs. I'm planning on coming again next year, and now I know to register early! I'll see you next year! Laura Winters
Thanks for a great race! I work for Lord and Taylor who would love to donate a gift basket for next year's event. Please keep my contact information and let me know. Elyce Rivera
Once again....Thank you so much for a wonderful event! Glad weather was so nice.......
Something definitely got messed up with clock........Does not matter at all....just making a comment....I ran under the clock at 20:07 but I think my time written down said 20:19, and Matt saw me finish so was already around the bend, probably 10 seconds or so behind me, but his time said 20:40..I'll bet everything was off by one runner and he was the 20:19. (Finished times were corrected in the final results from the video of the finish.)
Dillon was great, but pulled me way too hard early...We did about a 6:05 1st mile which means we averaged about 7:00 for the rest....I was cooked before the mid way point.......I was way faster in the Ernie days but I don't remember getting pulled so hard.....Ernie ran steadier.
Next year is a long way off, but maybe next year I'll let Matt run with Dillon.....Matt hadn't run in 3 weeks, but has been playing a lot of hockey....He has running talent. Thanks again ! Mark DePiano
Thanks for putting on a great event. Ron Whalin (photographer)
Congrats on another very successful race! I had a lot of fun and hope Ryan did too. Such a good boy he is and fast too. We made it into "Elite" status. Thanks so much for the opportunity. Marie Quinn (who ran with the race director’s dog Ryan) P.S. Added benefit for me - I couldn't believe there was a $25 coupon in the goody bag for the kennel I'm taking my dog to on Wed.!
Thank you. It was a great event. Grady and I had a super time. Arthur Browne
Thanks for organizing! It was great! John McDermott
Thank you very much for organizing the race & welcoming Cooper & me; your encouragement & support gave me the courage to show up! He did well with everything, people, dogs, & the run! We will be back next year!!! We had a great day thanks to you!!!! Thanks for the kind words at the awards' ceremony! Try to get some rest before your company comes! LOL, Wendy Kerr
We are both so excited to be part of this. You have me hooked. Riley & Petie had a blast. I ran a little slower than I would on my own. I kept Petie's pace the whole time because I was worried about him. He was so "tuckered out" that night...it warned my heart to see him curled up in a white fur ball sleeping peacefully. Riley on the other hand still had lots of energy. You did a great job. You are wonderful at keeping in touch & getting back by email so quickly. St Hubert’s is very blessed to have you as part of their organization. Thanks Again for everything Carolyn Wezenter
Not trying to give you a "big head". But you seem to always manage to cover everything. Even the flyer that came in the mail with our race numbers. It seemed to answer any question I may have had. Most importantly I like the way you stress that it’s for "the dogs" & for them to have fun. Can't wait to see pictures on website from the race P.S. Mike is wonderful & he has a beautiful family. Even Pete commented how courteous and well behaved his kids are. We were so happy & comfortable with Mike running Riley. You did good! (Due to Pete’s injury Riley was paired with Mike Prebenda for the race.) Thanks Again. Carolyn Wezenter
I just wanted to commend you on a wonderful event on Sat. It was my first time participating and I ran with Geri O'Brien's dog Nellie. We had a wonderful run together. The course was great and the volunteers were just fabulous. I know you have worked for many months to organize and oversee all of the details. St. Hubert's is one of my favorite charities (I have adopted 3 cats from St. Hubert's) so I hope we raised a lot of money and awareness. Thank you for all of the hours you worked on this. I certainly appreciate it. Ann Zouvelekis
Thank you for all your hard work and effort. As usual, Boo and I had a wonderful time. Ron Reich
Great many thanks! I have been aware of this event for many years and have always thought you do a really impressive job organizing such a fun event. Best Regards, Ken Alutin
Thanks so much for your note! We're so excited Bodhi took first place/small dog. He trained much harder than I did this year and it was definitely a challenge keeping up with his young legs. Again you threw a flawless race, thank you so much for all your efforts. I'd love to pick up Bodhi's ribbon at your convenience, it will definitely and proudly be displayed in our home...so sorry we couldn't stay for the ceremony but we had family commitments to 'run' to. All my best, Bob Karp and Bodhi
Thank you very much. We had a great time running in the race. Look forward to doing it again next year. Brendan Browne
Thanks again for putting on a great race. Sorry Deb and I had to split so soon, we had a fundraiser for Tri State Weimaraner rescue(where we got Brody) in Branchburg that started at noon. You had perfect weather and a great turnout. I had a great chat with the Vet who volunteered. Brody tore one of the pads of his paw and she fixed him right up. He is fine now but a bit gimpy. Thanks again! Chris Kelly
That is
very sweet. You're the best, Barb. Thanks for sharing this story about
you, Bandit & owner. (Bandit missed the Paws from the Past event so we held a
special event for Bandit during the 3 mile run. He got to cross the finish and
get his ribbon.)
FYI, we all loved the race this year. It may have been the most fun I've ever
had. I think I loved it because there was less stress somehow, and more time to
marvel at all of the wonderful dogs and dog owners. It is what I look forward
to each fall. Thank you for giving all of us this special occasion with our
devoted companions. (Did you know that the woman who ran your Ryan this year
plays violin with the same orchestra where Troy and I play cello and viola??
Wow. Small world. I did not recognize her. I mean she certainly looked
familiar, but I just could not place her - not with running shorts and a dog on
a leash after only knowing her seated in a rehearsal room with a violin under
her chin!).
By the way, I think your Ryan recognized me. I approached him after the race
and he greeted me enthusiastically. It was wonderful (I wore his paw print on
my shirt well into the afternoon. It made me smile). Have a good week.
Thanks again for all the effort and hard work. Race day was a big success. I
believe everybody loved it. Shelley Prebenda
Thanks for hosting an awesome event! We had a great time and thought that everything ran very smoothly (except for whoever took a spill at the start I guess) The course was great- flat and fast and we couldn't have requested a nicer fall day. I am sorry we didn't get to chat but you were busy, busy with all the awards and prizes! Thank you for forwarding on the pictures from the "winners circle" and I look forward to seeing more when you post them! Meredith Locasto
Thank you, your hard work is deeply appreciated...we all had a great day. Sincerely Lorna Yerkes
Just a quick note of thanks and congratulations to you on another tremendous Hounds and Harriers race. As disappointed as I was not to be able to run in this year’s race due to my injury, watching my daughter run her first 5K with Kota was 100 times more rewarding than crossing the finish line myself. I have to say that the other runners at this event are some of the nicest people that you’ll ever meet. We were a bit nervous about having Katie run the race alone, knowing that there’s always a possibility that leashes could get tangled, or Kota could get a bit overly excited and cause her to take a spill. But the other runners were so incredibly nice to her. One woman gave her a bunch of tips at the starting line, and another woman ran with her for much of the race, offering her encouragement along the way. Their kind support really meant a lot to Katie and to us.
You really do such an amazing job with this event. We really appreciate all the time and effort that you and all your volunteers put into it. We’re already talking about next year’s race and trying to figure out who will run with Kota. My younger daughter has announced that she also wants to run next year, so I think we’re going to need a few more dogs! Take care. Jim, Bev, Katie, Lauren, and Dakota Galbraith
Thanks. The old dogs made me cry. Myrna Moran
Rosie and I really enjoyed the 15th annual Hounds and Harriers event on Saturday. It is hard to believe it’s been 15 years since Tucker and I set out on our first of many enjoyable H&H days. I can’t even pick which one is my favorite. Thank you again for all that you do to make Hounds and Harriers possible. St. Hubert’s is so lucky to have an angel like you to help make their goals a reality. I have attached a few of my favorite photos from Saturday.
I think I saw the little guy who fell. I saw him about a half mile into the race and said aloud to myself: “wow, look at the little kid – he’s a great runner”. I didn’t see his skinned up knees because he was ahead of me.
Hope to see you for a casual run in Morristown. Enjoy your visit with your house guests. You deserve a big vacation yourself! Love, Karen Fox
Congrats on the successful event, and thanks for sharing the photos. Jason Wehner (Milk Bone Sponsor)
