Steve and I got the messages copied below about seeking bike volunteers for the shorter races that are part of the Santa Fe International Half Marathon on September 15. If you volunteer, there is also another perk of a bag of Jirnani Kenyan coffee. Please consider this volunteer opportunity favorably. I’ll have another later in the month.

Dear Lynn and Steve,
Good evening! Jennifer from Bike Santa Fe kindly shared your contact information with me, as we are looking for cyclists to assist with our upcoming 5K and 1 Mile races. Specifically, we need a cyclist to lead each race, provide support at the turnaround points, and act as a sweep at the end of each race. Would you kindly share this information with our club members?
I had the pleasure of meeting some of your club members today at Nickolas after their ride, and they mentioned that our Half Marathon course is a familiar route for them.
Warm regards,
Kerri Cottle

The event, produced by Mwangaza Athletic Club, partners with the Lightning Boy Foundation and WEFTA (Water Engineers for the Americas and Africa) to support the Kitany Water Project in Kenya, benefiting the Indigenous Kalenjin tribe, known as the “running tribe.” Learn more about this impactful project here: Kitany Water Project.
