Team Asha 8K 2010

Our hearty congratulations for being a part of the Team Asha Team 8K on October 30th, Saturday. You folks were simply awesome and we sincerely hope you all had loads of fun. The course was slightly tough and rugged. So, you all are proud finishers of the testing Team Asha Team 8K!! We hope you enjoyed the event as much as we enjoyed organizing and being part of it! Please feel free to send your comments, suggestions and feedback to us ( just email teamasha8k@gmail.com ).

Look out for this space for announcements on the 4th edition of the Team Asha 8K event! We look forward to having you run with us!

Here are some announcements:

Timing:
You can view the results here (Click on link)

Some bibs have blanks against them or might have a wrong time. This could be because of many reasons - wet bibs, runners having bibs on their back, finishers not going through the finish line and also maybe we missed a few. We would like to apologize if your number is missing from the list or if there is an error. We would like to stress that more than the time you finished at, the time you had at the finish matters :)

Here is a blog account of the run (with links to photos and video), on our team blog - http://www.teamashablr.blogspot.com/ (Please do provide your feedback and words of encouragement as comments on the post!)

Volunteering and support for various efforts: This event is one of it's kind bringing together people from various backgrounds thus providing an opportunity to contribute as well. If any of you are interested in helping out any of the efforts/schools that were there in the run, please do let us know and we will help you get in touch and meet the concerned people.
