Celebration!

The 2008 Cascade Crest Classic 100 Mile Endurance Run is history.  It was a tough challenging day for Stan and all of the other runners.  It's an incredible experience to watch the runners dig deep into their soul, conquering the bad times and getting mentally and physically back into the run.  All who got themselves to the starting line should be commended. The event is such that no one is guaranteed a personal record, much less a finish.  Anything can happen out there.  As a crew member, I left the experience inspired by all I was blessed to cross paths with. -- Esther
