⚠️WARNING: LONG THANK YOU POST⚠️
THANK YOU ALL for being a part of the 2nd annual Halloween Havoc Half Marathon and 6 Mile trail race. From the runners, to the volunteers, to everyone that came to just hang out, we LOVE you! As always, it was a blast to host y’all in our backyard, the beautiful Oak Mountain State Park. From day 1, OMSP has been nothing but accommodating to ZTR! They open their gates to us to use their pristine trails and have always helped us with whatever we need!
Next are our sponsors. Thank you Resolute Running for your support of ZTR! Michael and Mary’s aid station was awesome and we cannot express how much y’all mean to the ZTR family! Thank you Walk-On's Sports Bistreaux! Your hospitality towards us was phenomenal and the runners loved it! As always, the food was excellent, as was the service! Thank you Paloma Sisters/Birmingham Ultra Trail Society for a fantastic aid station for the half marathon! The runners loved seeing y’all after 6.5 very hilly miles 😆.
Last, but certainly not least, thank you to our very special volunteers! So many friends showed up yesterday and in the days leading up to the race to help us put this thing together! Dusty Davis, thank you for helping flag the half marathon course! Kristi, Raven, and William-thank you for helping with SO much on race day! From unboxing pint glasses, to helping at packet pickup, to sweeping the entire half marathon course, to helping break down, y’all were AWESOME! Paige Paschal, Morgan Chatam, Jason Chatam, Amber Whilock, Seana Wade, Shellie Talley, Beau Talley, Mark Beggs, Bob Sims, Melissa Beard, Robert Watters, Heather Watters-what else is there to say about our wonderful Birmingham trail family? Y’all are the most selfless, supportive, and kind people I know. ALL of you are what makes Birmingham the best and most welcoming trail community on the planet!
Rhett Wheeler-thank you for setting up, breaking down, and everything in between. You helped us SO much and we are more appreciative than you know! David Long- thank you for helping with packet pickup and guiding runners to the finish line!
To anyone we failed to mention, please know that we LOVE and APPRECIATE you too but are still very sleep deprived 😂
