The Save The Gay Head Lighthouse committee would like to thank everyone who helped to make the second annual Gay Head 10K, a Race Against Time, the resounding success that it was.

The race would not have been possible without our many generous and supportive sponsors. Volunteers came from every Island town and included police and fire departments, the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head (Aquinnah), the high school cross country team and anyone else we may have inadvertently missed.

Joe and Marylee Schroeder added a wealth of information and help up to and during the race. And the Martha’s Vineyard Chamber of Commerce also rallied for our cause.

We would like to extend special thanks to the Aquinnah police department, especially Chief Randhi Belain, and Jay Smalley, Frank Perez and their crew. Thanks also to Paula and David Eisenberg for donating and manning the pace car. And a very appreciative thank you to Marshall and Joseph Lee for putting in the time and effort to measure the course for certification by USA Track and Field.

And, of course, many thanks to all the runners, without your participation this could never have happened.
