It Takes a Village to put on the MHR Marathon and Half

compiled by Chris Bishop

The number of people needed to create, run, and then clean up an event like this is staggering. We thank those notated here and if anyone is omitted, please forgive us. The list may overwhelm you, but it will give you an idea of the complexity of this event and the many people essential to carrying it out. Maybe next year, you might want to play a part in two of the most popular races of the HMRRC program.
