TESTIMONIALS:
Katharine,
I just wanted to thank you for such an amazing event. The course was beautiful - a bit more challenging than expected but it was a real pleasure to run. The course was marked very well and all the volunteers very enthusiastic and helpful. The meal, awards presentations, starting line organization, bag-check - everything was perfect.
Thanks again!

Hi there,
we loved the race (we both did the 10 km) but were wondering who won the diamond?
thanks, John and Jen Simpson
Hi Katharine,
Congrats on a terrificly successful Uxb 1/2! You should be very proud seeing all your efforts come together...sunshine by lunch too - what a bonus.
We didn't think those hills were going to end towards the finish line but you had warned us!!!

Hi Katharine
Thanks for a "great first race" for my son and 2 nieces. They had a great time! They didn't want to take off their medals. We look forward to next year already. Hopefully the weather is better.

First of all, I want to thank you for staging a great event! I heard everyone say how challenging the different courses were but that they would do it again. It was so nice not to have to run on roads and it was so peaceful in the trail and cart paths. The lunch at the end was a real ++ - I must admit you get tired of dry bagels and bananas race after race. So having a real meal, and to be able to sit down, was great. I am sure word will travel fast about how great an event this was. Despite the weather....which could have been much worse.
Anway, thanks again to all the organizers and volunteers for a great event....even though I didn't win the diamond!

Thanks Katherine. You and your team need to receive much more credit than you got on Saturday. Joe
Hey Katharine!!
Have you come back down to earth yet? What a wonderful event that was on Saturday! The numbers say it, but it truly was a great day. So well organized, incredible (challenging) route, great venue, all the prizes and door prizes, I could go on and on. And the timing for everything – between timing when the different groups went out to timing the awards when they returned … amazing!
What a great way to bring the community together and a great way to show off our Uxbridge for people who came from out of town.
Congratulations! You must be absolutely thrilled.
And … yes… much better than Angus Glen!
Can't wait till next year- Julie
Good morning Katharine
I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed participating in Run for the Diamond on the weekend. Well done!
What an amazing course! That was truly a first for me.. meaning running trails. The trail portion of the course was absolutely stunning! My husband & I travelled from Meaford (on Georgian Bay between Owen Sound & Collingwood) to participate last weekend. My first words after completing the run........I'm coming back in 2012!
Congrats on such a successful event!

Dear Katherine,
Thank you so so much for you and all the volunteers. You all are awesome!! There are a lot of water stations. All the volunteers are very cheerful and helpful. This is my second half marathon. I would like to train more on the hill training. I love to come back next year and see if I can improve. The course is beautiful and challenging. The lunch is delicious and is in the nice goft club setting. I love the shower. What a relief to take a shower and have a great lunch while watching the award ceremony. Faith
Hi Katharine - I wanted to thank you for organizing such a great race last weekend for the Uxbridge 1/2. The events were all well organized, the food was excellent, the volunteers and trail markers along the way were great. I was astounded to win 2nd in my age division 50+ and was very very happy with the award! Thank you so much! I will be back next year and hope to be even more prepared for those hills! With very best wishes,
Katherine Thomas
