Volunteers Key to Race Success

On behalf of the Norfolk Land Trust’s Trail Race Committee, we would like to thank everyone who made our 9th annual 5K/10K race and our half marathon on Sept. 10 a huge success. We had runners register for the races from throughout the state and they were impressed, not only with land trust trails, but also with event volunteers.  We are especially grateful for the dedicated volunteers with the Norfolk Lions Club Ambulance and the Norfolk Volunteer Fire Department for keeping everyone safe and helping to make the race run smoothly. 

Thank you to our generous sponsors: Freund’s Farm, 7-Day Recreationalist, Kingsland Company, Monument Conservation Collaborative, On the Rocks, D. Scott Reeve Construction, Mad River Painting, Husky Meadows Farm, UCE Fine Builders, Litchfield Hills Mobile Veterinary Clinic, Good-Natured Cooking, Hill Violin Studio, Norfolk Healing Arts, Chris Peterson Woodworks, Stop and Shop, Responsive Designs, National Iron Bank, Lost Ruby Farm, and Roma Pizza.

We also had an incredible group of volunteers involved in registration and on the trails, including, Alex Hill, Alex Johnson, Barry Roseman, Carrere Tirrell, Charlie Tirrell, Christal Preszler, Daryl Eaton, Dave Cusick, Hope Childs, Jim Rollins, John Cox, John DeShazo, John Johnson, Kailyn Nadeau, Kathy Bascetta, Laura Tabaka, Liane Burke, Libby Borden, Linda Riiska, Liz Allyn, Marie Civco, Mark Burke, Meg Hill, Michelle Childs, Molly Peterson, Ned Barron, Nina Ritson, Peggy Cusick, Peter Coffeen, Rene Ayers, Scott Reeve, Star Childs , Steve Getz, Tim Ayers, Tom Carley, Tom Hodgkin, Walter Godlewski ,Wayne Smith and Wendy Larson. 

All of this would not be possible without our hard-working trail race committee: Bill Couch, Chris Peterson, Henry and Robin Tirrell and Ryan Williams.  Thank you to the Norfolk Land Trust Board for supporting this endeavor.
