All runners received a T-shirt, goody-bag and buffet at Bones Steak and Chop House in Battle Ground Village hosted by Dennis Pavlina. The expanded event was supported and sponsored by Dennis Pavlina and Carmen Villarma of Battle Ground Village, Battle Ground Printing, Clear Choice Chiropractic, Battle Ground Trophy, and Max Muscle.
