For 2013

Our last post encouraged others to commit to New Year's goals.  Today, we commit to our own resolutions--we'll put them out there on paper (or, in the blogosphere) to help keep us accountable.

First, The Hungerford Games resolves to deliver what we promise.  We've all run a ton of excellent, well-managed, beautiful races--but we've also come to quite a few and said, "Wait, didn't they say that they would...."

We have a vision for The Games that we're extremely excited about--wooden medals branded on site, custom-carved trophies, handmade ultramarathoner hiking sticks, awesome courses through the woods... and that is exactly what you'll get.

Second, The Games resolves to be ridiculously helpful, and attentive to runners' questions and suggestions.  This is your race; we're hosting it for you.  If you need anything, from training advice to a power doughnut at the finish line, let us know.  If there's anything that's unclear or that you don't understand, please ask.  We want everyone to come away from The Games thinking, "Man, that is one well-run event."

Check out our website.  If there's anything you can think of that might improve the event, e-mail us, facebook us, or put a comment here on the blog.  We can't promise that we'll take every suggestion, but we can promise that we'll listen and do our best.

Third, we resolve to protect and preserve the park and the trails.  We are taking every precaution to make sure we can share the splendor of Hungerford Park without detracting from it.  Please work with us on race day to help us achieve this!

We built The Hungerford Games because we love running and we love the park.  We can hardly wait to see you reach your goals and have a great time doing it.  We commit to our resolutions because helping you complete a successful, adventurous, and enjoyable race is completely, totally worth it.

Train well!
