" What a great race and morning in Fort Story! The kids seemed to love it, especially the loud clapping at the finish line." - Bobby Woodard, Team Hoyt VB

"The volunteers, the course, the food, the beer, the location - all top notch! And we really enjoyed seeing and running with Team Hoyt. I especially liked the top prizes - my first place (in my age group) picture is hanging proudly on the wall." - Hallie Trout

" I do a lot of runs in the community for worthy causes and I’ve gotten my share of ‘hardware’ … but Saturday’s ‘trophy’ was one of the BEST I have ever gotten -- the framed artwork from one of the children!!! " -- Linda " Sunny " Fox
