Remembering:
"Getting up in the nicest hotel I had been in at that point in my life, having lunch with Alan Webb and others after the race..." Ryan Hall
"Meeting friends that you will have for a lifetime." Most Everyone
"A most distinct memory is meeting other runners from around the country." "I was amazed at the whole (Foot Locker) production. The way Foot Locker put on the event made us feel like it was the Olympic Games! Sara Bei Hall
"Beauty of the Hotel del Coronado during the Championship weekend. I used time on the beach to gather strength and inner-peace to prepare for the challenge of race day." Melody Fairchild.
"The experience was amazing having won the 'biggest race' of my life up until that point. It is a memory that I carry with me today." Matt Giusto
