I believe in promoting the race by promoting the team division.  I intend to encourage the formation of a Leon Cross-Country Alumni team.  Andrew Wills, Felton Wright, Andrew Maurey, Brant Foster, and David Proctor are possible members of the core of such a team.  If they can be sold on the idea, then they can go out and recruit the remaining team members.  Hopefully, that would then encourage the entry of alumni teams from other local schools.

500 finishers in '05!

Another national calendar lists the Palace Saloon Run. Check out RunningUSA for this listing.

The Pensacola Runners Association now has the Palace Saloon listed on their race calendar, "confirmed for 2005" even:

I should mention that RunningInTheUSA.com also has a link to the 2004 results:
