Great job yesterday, guys. Very smooth communications effort. It was a great way to finish the season.
I got a nice letter today from the YuKanRun Director thanking all of you for your great service this year.
Your volunteerism is greatly appreciated.
I plan to call out your efforts at the CAARA Holiday Party again this year. (January 10th, 2026)
Here is a look at the tentative YuKan race schedule for 2026. Basically the same set of races with the Marblehead Half-Marathon racecourse getting a redo based on this year's experience with traffic issues.
I will be getting out next year's sign-up emails right after the Holiday Party in January.
Thanks, again, for making this a great year for the CAARA-YuKanRun Race Safety Team.
Kevin, K1KL
