The Rotary Club of Reno Sunrise helped guide and provide encouragement to runners in the Truckee Meadow Park Foundation 10 Miler on Sunday, October 15.

 

President Dan Waters, Lynn Clark, Berry Courtney and Craig Sande were at their stations before 7 AM enjoying the morning tranquility.  The race started at 7:30 AM and was finished by 10:00 AM.  The event attracted a wide range of talent, from an Olympic hopeful to run/walk athletes.  We were able to see the participants twice, once going out and then returning.  There was one runner with a rucksack who was so fast that I didn't have time to take a photograph!  It was our own Past-president Shawn Stoddard!  Way to go Shawn!!
