Mike, it was my first experience with Covered Bridges and I have to admit, I had a blast. Can't wait to do it again next year. All the credit in the world goes to you and your team for putting on a world class event, especially under the tough circumstances with the weather. I regret not meeting face to face and shaking your hand in person but this will have to do. Thanks so much and have a great summer. I hope you can enjoy some time to yourself.
Best regards,
Jason Ackerson
Mike,
Thank you for a great race. This was my first half marathon and I plan to do it again next year. You and everyone involved in the CBHM did a great job. The race and support staff was amazing. We had a great time in Quechee after the race was over. Thank you again for a truly amazing experience. See you in 2013.

hey Mike!
what a woooonderful day and what woooonderful volunteers! the organization of it all was FABULOUS! can't thank you enough for all that you and your colleagues and volunteers do... soooo much hard work... all of us runners are SO grateful!
only "wish" for next year... i wish there could be just a couple more port-o-potty stops between miles 5 & the finish? just like ONE at mile 8 and ONE at 11? or something like that?
i and a few of my friends who ran it would've GREATLY appreciated it? basically i was "holding it" for the last 5 miles... seriously scoping out the woods to the side of the road over&over, but afraid of offending my fellow runners or getting arrested <:)
and even if u don't do this... i'll still hope to get into cbhm 2013 w/joy!
be well... and REST now that the big event is over!!!!
best to you all

Hi Mike,
Really well run event. Thank you.
Please forward my thanks to the Hartford Ambulance squad at the finish. They very likely saved my friend Amy's life today and for that I am exceedingly grateful for their professionalism, knowledge and skills.

thanks to you and all of the volunteers for this race. Each year it gets better and better. Who would have guessed you also can control the weather. One thing I would have liked is that the results show a list of the people in order of their actual time rather than the gun time. Maybe granite state couldn't do it the other way. See you next year. mike
Hi Mike
Thanks for a fantastic event! Last August I saw someone wearing a shirt from an earlier CBHM. I thought it sounded like fun so I googled it and set an alarm for when registration opened. I'm glad I did and I am eager to sign up for next year's race. I wasn't clear on the time registration opened and, as you know, the spots go so fast I want to be sure to set my alarm again.
Thanks for everything you and your team did to plan this great race. I haven't run since I did a marathon in 2006 and this was the perfect event to inspire me to get back in my shoes.
Many thanks and I look forward to seeing you again next year, if I'm lucky enough to get a spot.

Hello,
What a wonderful day it was. This was my third year running this 1/2 and every year it gets better. I love the atmosphere, the music, smiling faces and great people organizing this event. I always come home and brag to my friends about it but never know if I want to tell them to make sure they register for the following year because I don't want that one person to beat me out in the mad dash of registering.
If I could just give my one piece of advice, I would ask that the volunteer shirts be a little brighter in color or even white with bright lettering. The reason I ask this is because today with about 1/2 mile to run I ran up along a woman who obviously needed some assistance, she was pale with blue lips and staggering. When I looked up quickly to see if there were any volunteers around it took me a bit to spot the blue/gray color. Other than that moment the day couldn't have been better. Thank you so much for helping to make this day so memorable every year.
See you next year,
Meredith Houseman
An absolutely incredible experience! What a day! Thanks for everything, especially having it so well organized. What a pleasure to participate. Check out some pics from my blog featuring my friends and I.

Mike: To you and the Committee -- thank you for an absolutely outstanding race.
I cannot wait for next year.
PS-- Could you have a "meeting spot" for family members -- like the alphabet for bag pick ups. I caused angst today because my family could not find me.
Thank you. Maria

Hi Mike,
Thanks for a great experience. This was the first time I ran the CBHM and I was lucky enough to be joined by my sister and brother (first time CBHM racers as well). I enjoyed the race and was soooo happy that the sun came out and the rain held off. I have two suggestions for next year that I think would please a lot of people.
1: Have markers at the start for racer's expected min/mile. My sister and I placed ourselves part way up where we thought the 8 min miler's would be, it took 1:30 to cross the start. (not a big deal but the results were sorted by gun time and not net time. Not that I was a top finisher but I was 23 places faster than I was listed. A bummer to have to do the searching myself.
2: Have the results sorted by net time (first suggestion would simplify this one a bit too).
That's it! Sorry to send complaints, it really was a well organized, beautiful race. Thank you for all your hard work!

Hi Mike,
Thank you for organizing such a wonderful event! We were worried about the weather too, but it turned out to be such a beautiful day! It was our first CBHM and it was perfect! We really appreciate everything you all did to plan the race and make sure it went off without a hitch. We had a great time!
Thanks!!

This was my first time running the race. Thank you for a great day! It was by far the most enjoyable race I've ever run--beautiful course, well-planned support, and the bands were great. Kudos to you and all the volunteers.

Hello Mike,
Thanks so much for an awesome race! And the unexpectedly good weather was a bonus!
Just one suggestion......when my family (including small grandchildren) tried to park near the finish, they were turned away by the police and sent to where the runners parked. It was a long trek for little ones. My understanding was that parking at the finish would open at 9:00. If this could be clarified next year, that would really help.
