Special thanks to all of our wonderful volunteers, and our main sponsors Dynamic Earth and Providence Medical Center.  Thanks to Noodles & Company for the meal money (to the Nerds), and Dynamic Earth for helping to set this up.  And Wyandotte County Lake Park Deputy Director and all of the helpful staff and rangers.  KC Multisport stepped up to the plate and provided an additional "staffed" aid station that was much appreciated by the runners.  A Golite rep was there too, and gave away some nice schwag with Dynamic Earth's excellent offerings.  And special thanks to Ultimate Direction, who donated water bottles for folks that forgot theirs.  Once again, James Barker made some fantastic soup...chicken noodle and lentil.  The Amos Family aid station had fantastic cookies and quesadillas.  Cowboy Bob Bundschuh set up the Wyco Triangle Aid station, and had some excellent staffing: Pat Perry, Mel Baldridge, Coleen Voeks, Chrisie Craig and others.  Vicki made her signature black bean soup, and had some great help from Scott, Terri Burlingame, Cheri Sutton, and others.  Debbie Webster and Julie Toft were interloper helpers that went everywhere.  Shane and Brandy Jones helped here, there and everywhere.  Thanks to Raul and Jeremy for their endurance timing, and to Nancy for letting me have Raul for all of Valentine's Day.  And my son Matt Holmes, who endured and relished 2-1/2 days of hard work, helping his Old Man.  There were many others that I haven't mentioned that worked in the "invisible background" of this race.  Including the course-marking crew, and the folks that are (and will be) de-marking the course.  Yes, the work goes on and on.

Thanks to everybody for a job well done!

The 2008  Psycho WyCo Run Toto Run and Psychopathic 5K is now history.  We set a couple of records, this year.  We had an attendance record, with over 400 showing up on race day to run.  And we had our 50K course record shattered by 26-year old Matthew Laye from Columbia, Missouri, in a time of 4:19:42 ! 

Not bad, even for this "flatter than a pancake" Kansas course, with the "perpetually perfect" course and weather conditions that are always encoutered in this little corner of our fair state.  (What's a little mud between friends)?

Final Results:

2008 Overall Results for 5K, 10-mile, 20-mile, and 50K
