David Yon gave us a plug yesterday (8 April 2006) in his Fragments column, http://gulfwinds.org/Columnists/fragments_040806.htm on the Gulf Winds Track Club site:

Palace Work

If creative marketing helps a race, the Palace should have a great turnout this year. Co-Race Director Herb Wills (Reid Vannoy is his partner in crime) has left his mark everywhere. When I close my eyes at night I see "Palace Saloon 5K" on the back of my eye lids. Every race I have run since the 30K seems to have those words pasted somewhere in sight. Herb and Reid, "I will obey, I will be there." The Palace is at least one of, if not THE oldest, club race. It certainly has the longest running on the same course of any club race. With over three hundred finishers last year it has grown to one of the biggest club races and just might be its most fun. It is great to see the good work put into this race by Herb, Reid, and Jeff Bryan paying off.
