    Hi,
    My husband and I ran the Bloomin’5k last Saturday, March 5th. We thoroughly enjoyed the race and appreciated the planning and preparation that went into it. The food was great, the medals were beautiful, police were at the intersections, everything was great. Our only disappointment is that the age group results have not been put up with the photos on the web site, at least we haven’t found them. Runners like to check for their official time. We hope to be able to run the same race next year. Thanks for a well planned race.

    Really good point about getting the race times up. Thanks for the reminder. I plan on getting the times up when I get into the office this week.

    Hi,

    I agree with the previous comments about the race. I thought it was well organized and I was glad to see a higher level of participation this year. I also have the same question about the final results. Has there been any progress on getting them posted? Also, when they are posted, will they be on this web site or on Active.com?

    Thanks

    Mike

    I have to get the race results from the runner’s club (race timers) to post them. I’ve left a message for someone, but haven’t heard back from anyone yet. I’m a little frustrated by it. Someone told me that the results are on active.com, but I can’t figure out that website and I haven’t been able to find any times.

    ok…well I belong to active.com and went there to see if indeed they are posted there, they are not!!! so.. I guess it isnt a priority in someones eye..

    WELL I just got a E-Mail back from LLRC and they dont have the final results. atleast not a full list.. all they had was the top three finishers… so there ya go.

    Someone has the race times and I’m trying to figure out who it is.

    We’ll get to the bottom of this. It can’t be that difficult other than once I find out who has the race times, I’ll probably have to match race numbers to names.
