Utah Hemophilia Foundation

A Wet but Successful BloodRun
by Mya Anderson, BloodRun Race Director

Picture
We have had our best attended BloodRun to date! Despite the cold and the rain, we had over 370 runners sign up, and out of those 284 actually showed up to run! The early morning of the run made me really nervous as I looked out my window to big, dark, luminous clouds and pouring rain. I thought, “No one is going to come out and run in this weather! This is crazy!” Out of the four years that we have had the BloodRun, this was the first year that we had to deal with bad weather.  

When we got to the park, we had to run around in the rain to set everything up. Bonnie Webb was trying to carry boxes and hold her umbrella at the same time, not an easy thing to do. Steve Petty trekked out in the rain to set up the course. Roberta Smith went around the course and put balloons out—that were still floating even after the rain! Kristy Fowler ran around making sure everything was in place. Jan Western made sure all the day of participants were taken care of while Scott Muir directed runners to the proper places. Britni Harris made sure all the prizes were set up and looking good. Soon volunteers and runners started pouring in (literally). I couldn't believe how many had showed up, despite the rain. It warmed my heart to see so many people! I thought, “We've got a dedicated group of runners here supporting our race!” About 20 minutes before the race started the rain let up...hallelujah!! We were able to run in the BloodRun without getting soaking wet! It was completely amazing!  

It was so fun to see so many family members, community members, and friends there to support this event. Way to rock it, Team Fowler and Team Anderson!! Once again it was a very fun and memorable event that I was very privileged to be a part of. This event could not have been put together without the great committee members, dedicated runners, as well as the wonderful sponsors who supported this event! Thank you, thank you for all your hard work and support!  You are truly appreciated!
