This year I was asked to organize the Hoopla Teams. They are groups of people stationed through out both running courses to cheer on the runners. The groups have themes, noise makers and music. There is even a competition between them for a grand prize and trophies. This year there were over 23 teams, 350+ people, that participated.
It has been a long planning process since November. So I was definitely ready for race day to get here. :) My good friend, Shannon, did it last year and graciously offered to help me out. She took on a new challenge this year but was still there to ask a lot of questions to. I don't know what I would have done without her.
I arrived early to check teams in, giving out banners, last minute t-shirts and breakfast food. Once that was complete, I headed to my work group's Hoopla Team to check out their set up. It was so fun to see Lubricant's representing! They had 7 huge blow ups along the side of the road.
Some girls from my group in front of one a blow up. This is one of our brand new products we just launched.
