They stepped things up last year by doing a carnaval theme which is super fun. Unfortunately for us, May 9th decided to be one of the rainiest days of the year and it POURED from 6 am to 10 pm.

We had THREE women run the 10k and no men, as well as handful of enthusiasts for the 5k and kids fun run. AND IT WAS POURING. Oh these people were such troopers.
