The 2009 KICKS 10K Certified Race attracted runners from across the state and as far away as Texas. Runners ranged in age from 4 to 80 and even included a couple of canine runners!

Participants had this to say about this inagural event:

"I actually had never done such an event and now my best friend and I have chosen to make this a yearly event and are challenging ourselves to beat our times each year."

"Beautiful course."

"I really enjoyed the race and what a great job for the first year event. Keep up the good work!"

"Its a really good race. I hope it really takes off because I look forward to doing it again and again!"

"I'll do this every year!"
