Excellent job! We had fun and enjoyed seeing everyone celebrating ASD. It worked well with all your volunteers all taking on a task. Well done!

CMU Light It Up Blue 5K

I was so excited to see this event, and I’d love to have it continue in future years! I thought you all did a fantastic job running the race, especially since it was the first year! Being a CMU alumni, I would love for the race to run more through campus. It also might be nice to have the route in areas where there are wider sidewalks if possible. There were some areas that were a tight squeeze for multiple runners to run through. Thanks for a great opportunity!
