Congratulations to WattsUp Foothills 10 Mile Race participants!
Awesome job to all the WattsUp participants who ran the Foothills 10 Mile Trail Race. It was a cold, early morning, running through a tough terrain. Everyone had great times and most of all fun with teammates! Best part was coffee and good conversations afterwards.
WattsUp Athletes met at the Albertsons parking lot off of Academy Rd.
We gathered in the WattsUp Van to meet up and stay warm.
