The 8th Annual Running with the Bulls

August 1st, 2010. A benefit for the Musk Ox Farm, a non-profit organization.

190 competitors showed up for the kids' fun run,  5k  and 10k races ... our biggest year yet!  The sun broke through the clouds, the musk ox lined up to watch and the event raised nearly $10,000 towards this years' major fundraising goal of $250k.

Thanks to all who participated, who came out to watch, who donated funds, goods, services, and their time, and thanks to Jesse Owens for documenting the event!
