Let's go biggest ever in 2012!!! We are hoping to surpass 500 runners! Bring the family, have a great time!!!

For the last 2 years, our shirt design has included the phrase, "Run For Your Life". That is the title of the book that I, your race director, have finally finished. It does include a chapter on the Tutto Bene/Cabin race and has a lot to say about what I have learned and experienced as a runner, teacher, and coach. Copies are available with your registration at $12 for each book, this includes the tax. (We will have a separate worker to hand out the books the day of the race, and I will sign all copies that are preordered prior to race day!) $37 will get you one of my books, the race t-shirt, the after race snacks, and a medal when you cross the finish line!

Descriptions of the many marathons I have completed and how I tackle the task of finishing a marathon is a lot of what the book is about. It also stresses why running is important in my life and can be in yours too.

Several descriptions of how I have coached my athletes and helped people to be the best runner they can be are also included.

Hopefully, you can find some encouragement for your own running and learn a few things about how you can improve. I think you will find it very interesting to trace some of the steps my life has taken. Yours in running- Dennis "Barny" Bartz.
