The 2011 running of the CIGs Race is the 5th year of the event. It celebrates 7 years of smoking cessation for your race director. We put 28 participants in the record books this year with two of them being walkers. A cold and windy day left no doubt that these were some of history's hardiest runners. With this run being a joint effort between Show-Me State Games and the Columbia Track Club I am proud to make a shout out to Emily Lorenz of the Show-Me State Games for all of her effort bringing this race to Columbians. Tom Allen of the Columbia Track Club was the official race timer. Both entities provided volunteers as did the University of Missouri's School of Medicine and the University of Missouri's Healthy for Life program.

This year's trophies were produced uniquely for the race by Kevin McClary and donated by the Missouri River Monument Company in Boonville. B&B Bagels provided bagels to snack on.

We also want to remember the University of Missouri Healthcare's EMTs as always in the races history provided a vehicle to secure the health and safety of the event's participants.
