INAUGURAL FERNLEY Half Marathon TAKES THE GOLD!

Submitted by Karen Becker Event Director On April 12, 2008, the Inaugural Fernley Half Marathon, 5k and One Mile Kid’s run started and finished on the Fernley High School track. The course included a run through the White Bluff’s subdivision and a challenging hill up Desert Shadows Road. With 267 entries, we hosted a first class running race, benefiting the “Back the Track” program. Entrants all over Northern California and Nevada participated in the event. We would like to express our thanks and acknowledge the many businesses that played an integral role in this event’s tremendous success by donating their time and/or product: Fernley Rotary Club, 4M Promotions, Power In Flow Fitness, BLT Ready Mix, Best Western, KWHG, Jack Cote of Reno, Lahontan Valley News, FernleyNews.Com, Banner Churchill Community Hospital, the RGJ, Renown Medical Center, Kent’s Supply, Pizza Factory, Norton Photography, The Body’s Shop, On the Level, Scolari’s Market, Wal-Mart Distributing Center, Lowe’s, Loraine Natrerss of Avon, Subway, Waste Management, True Value, The Office, Nevada Blue, Silver Sage Cleaners, William (Bill) Clegg, Jr. and Joe Mortensen. A special thanks goes to Anytime Fitness our Main Sponsor, and Frontier Financial Credit Union, our official Medal Sponsor. We also thank Fernley High School, and the City of Fernley. Though they were not sponsors, they provided us with the assistance and guidance needed to produce a successful event. We express our gratitude to our wonderful volunteers: The many members and their families of the Fernley Rotary Club, Boy Scout Troop #494, the Fernley Leo’s Club, Fernley Elementary School PTA, Clay, Sam Daily, Bryce Becker, Tim Gibbons, Tammi Brown, Tasha Lowery, Laura Jordan, Brandolyn Thran (who also ran in the race) and everyone else who supported our event by taking care of whatever needed to be done to ensure our event’s success. If I have left anyone out, please forgive me and know that your assistance was very much appreciated! Thank you to the many residents who supported the event, by cheering on the participants and giving them the right of way during the run. I would like to personally thank Steve Becker, who took on the role of Course Consultant. Steve not only marked and measured the course, but also designed and created the highly visible and unique course mile markers. Due to the many participants, volunteers, sponsors, supporters, friends, and media, the Inaugural Fernley Half Marathon was able to take the gold! We thank each of you and those not mentioned, for your support, encouragement and participation. We hope to see you at next year’s race!
